“The PDP has suffered the most spectacular and humiliating rejection by Cross Riverians in its over 24 years of history. It is now time for very sober reflection”

“Cross Riverians are a proud and dignified people. We are also our brothers’ keepers and so we abhor imposition, bigotry, jingoism, hate speech and even colonialism. So, the idea that elections can be won by spewing ethnic sentiment and promoting division is alien to our culture and vexatious to the spirit of every Cross Riverian’”

 

“The idea that our State can be annexed as the personal property of puppeteers is a joke and will always be resisted by voters. I congratulate the vast majority of the Cross River State electorate who are not card carrying members of any political party and who stood for equity, justice and fairness in this election’.

 

” You, the electorate, have settled all the arguments, postulations, theorizing and calculations. You said it loud and clear that having waited patiently for 16years without complaint but lovingly supporting their brothers in other Senatorial Districts, it is the turn of the Southern Senatorial District of Cross River State to produce a Governor’
