‘You are not governor of APC’ – IPAC, LP set agenda for Otu in Cross River State

Prince Bassey Otu has been advised by the Inter-Party Advisory Council, also known as IPAC, and the opposition Labour Party, also known as LP, to realize that after being sworn into office, he is now the Governor of Cross River State and not that of the All Progressives Congress, also known as APC. This information was given to Prince Bassey Otu.

This information was included in the congratulatory message that IPAC sent, and it was signed by the organization’s chairman, Anthony Bissong Attah.

It brought to his mind the fact that he had competed for the governorship of the state alongside other native sons of the state who were just as qualified as he was.

“Your election to the position of governor ought to be regarded as a chance to steer the ship of state with a sense of reverence for God and a healthy measure of self-control,”

“It is important to point out that after being sworn in, you are now the Governor of Cross River State, and not just of the APC. This is an important distinction.

“Your campaign slogan of putting the People First is one that encapsulates the whole yearnings of the masses, and we expect that you will hit the ground running as you face this daunting task of restoring the lost glory of our dear state. We look forward to seeing what you have in store for us.”

“We have elected to immediately commence our constitutional role of advising you on sensitive matters regarding statecraft and good governance,” he said. “As very critical stakeholders who are doggedly committed to the welfare and overall good of Cross Riverians, we have elected to immediately commence our constitutional role.”

IPAC urged Otu to run an open, transparent, and accountable administration, charging him to follow due process and respect human rights and justice. They also urged him to run an administration that is respectful of justice and human rights.

They emphasized how important it was to form a cabinet with a few “eggheads” who were equipped with the right character, competence, and capacity to pull the state out of its rut and get it moving forward again.

Additionally, in a statement that was signed by its chairman as well as a former candidate for the governorship, Ogar Osim, the LP expressed its joy at Otu’s success in receiving the mandate of the people.

The party reminded him that it came in second place in the governorship election, and it assured him that he will have the support of the people of the state, both within the state and outside of it, as he begins a new chapter of development for the state.

LP assured Otu of their spiritual support in prayers, citing the scriptures that instruct people to pray for those in leadership positions.
