The meeting which took place at the residence of Arc. Bassey Eyo Ndem is seen as a major move to further unite all the aspirants after Sen. (Prince) Bassey Otu emerged as the consensus and later victorious candidate of the party ahead of the 2023 general election.

“We all aspired together and at the end Sen. Prince Bassey Otu the sweetest prince was nominated. It was by the agreement and consent of everybody. So today was touching base. There was never a division. Today was just sitting down as brothers and friends to discuss and getting ready for the work ahead. For us here, we don’t need much of reconciliation.
“I am not sure of any aspirant from the Southern Senatorial District who is not part of us, those who are not here are unavoidably absent” Sen. Bassey Otu who enjoys massive followership across the state is highly tipped to emerge winner at the forthcoming 2023 governorship polls.
