The All Progressive Congress (APC) in Cross River wants all candidates elected in the March 18 state assembly elections to work together to move the state forward, irrespective of party affiliations.
APC chairman in Cross River, Alphonsus Eba, gave the charge on Monday in Calabar.
Congratulating the elected candidates, Mr Eba said, “For all those who have received their certificates of return across party lines, I say congratulations. Campaigns are over. It is time for governance. Everyone must join hands with Senator Bassey Otu, the governor-elect, to move the state forward.”
Governor Ben Ayade defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC in 2021, with Mr Eba saying the acceptability of the APC resulted from the party’s sound and the renowned principle of equity and fairness concerning power rotation.
He thanked Mr Ayade, who insisted that power must return to the southern senatorial district of the state after it went around all three districts.
“I thank the media also for being consistent with the message of equity, fairness, and justice, and residents of Cross River for voting for our party, the APC,’’ Mr Eba said.
