Cross River State Governor, Senator Bassey Otu has declared that Cross River State will deliver 18 over 18 local government areas for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027, saying APC was cheated in the 2023 presidential election where it won only seven LGAs.
Otu spoke in Calabar on Sunday during inspection of preparations for President Tinubu’s campaign rally scheduled for Monday at U.J Esuene Stadium.
“You will find our elder statesmen, men and women, all the youths to welcome Mr. President tomorrow. It’s a great day for us,” the Governor said.
Asked what Cross Riverians should expect, Otu said the state is moving to cement its covenant with the President.
“He has done well with us. There are things Cross River placed before him, many he has taken decision already. All we want is for him to show here as a great Cross Riverian, because this is the home of Jagaban. We are already supporting him. We are moving to next level. Almost all positive things done here is done by his support,” Otu said.
“He’s coming to probably hear some of it and then know the future how it’s going to be, but I assure you moving forward, it’s progress all the way.”
Responding to a question on 2023 performance when APC won only seven LGAs, Otu was emphatic:
“It’s 18 over 18. It’s 18 over 18. They cheated us in that election. It’s 18 over 18 this time.”
He added: “You can see the energy. You can see the electric. It’s going to vibrate like this till tomorrow. No stopping. No stopping. See all of you tomorrow.”
Also speaking, Director of Organisation of APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Osita Izunaso, said after going round the stadium for days, Cross River is ready.
“We have gone round the stadium and can see Cross River is ready. We want to thank Governor Otu for the effort he has put in to host tomorrow’s mega rally.
Everywhere is electrified, everywhere is charged for Mr President. What is happening here is just tip of iceberg. We are impressed, satisfied. Tomorrow Cross River is gone. Cross River is indeed a goal,” he said.
He urged Cross Riverians to remain on right path:
“Vote for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Vote for our governor 18 over 18. Vote for all our senators, House of Reps, and House of Assembly. It’s APC all the way.
“From what you have seen now, you can see tomorrow will be a bomb and a blast. We don’t have any fear about tomorrow’s mobilization. It has already been don,.” he concluded
