Gershom Bassey isn't an unknown politician.
It is rumored that he is a member of the trio nicknamed the three wise men (Donald Duke, Liyel Imoke and himself)

God dosnt break protocol for anything, not to talk of the dirtiness of the politics of Nigeria!

jmaine:
Who told this guy that Gershom Bassey is unknown ? . . . . As a matter of fact, it was highly rumored that he was the Governor in waiting after Liyel Imoke . . . . .

Gershom has always being a political heavyweight in Cross River State, though at the background . . . . .

Heavier than Bassey Otu. If not that the governor has to come from the north wetin concern Gershom with Senate. You can be sure that after the Prof. He will be the guvnor if he's still interested.

Op Gershom Bassey is not unknown oo... As a matter of fact, he was there b4 Otu... He is CRS Next Governor, After Ben Ayade....
On is poster it was boldly written: PAY BACK TIME.
He has been support others since 1999.

OP who informed you that Gershom Bassey is an unknown politician in Cross River state? Have you heard about Lagos Accord or the three wise men of CRS? Liyel Imoke, Donald Duke and Gershom Bassey are those who brought PDP to CRS. The trio had an agreement in 1999 to rule this state in succession not until the Incumbent saw it fit to rotate power to the Cross River North, a zone that has never occupied the Peregreno House..... Before the decision was made., Gershom Bassey had already prepared his mind to become the next governor.
OP get your facts straight...

Stop the ignorance, Gershom Bassey has always been a force despite not contesting for electoral positions . . . . .

I'm still looking forward to when this resident Senator, David Mark would be defeated

Waiting for the primaries in Criver North...

Do not mind the Op,he wrote on a topic,he knew nothing about.For your information Mr.Op,this guy is not a neophyte in the politics of Cross River state.He has been active albeit from behind the scene from the time of Donald Duke,it was even rumored that the triumvirate of this guy,Messers.Liyel Imoke and Donald Duke had a pact on who should be the governor among the 3 of them at any point in time so as to prevent the rancour that normally arises when it is time for politicians to honour an earlier agreement and to a very large extent they have been very mature in keeping to the agreement but the reason why he has opted to go to the Senate instead of contesting the P.D.P governorship primaries is what i know not.It would have been his turn to become the governor when the tenure of the incumbent expires.So get your facts right before writing on topics you know little about.

Otu ?,,,that is the name of my home town in oyo state.

Truely, no one can be against you. Nigeria must be better!!

I thought the APC said that PDP do not conduct primaries. This could be true under Obasanjo, but Goodluck has really changed that

Gershom Bassey is not unknown,he was in politics even before the emergence of Prince Otu.He is suppose to be the next governor if not for the Zoning.that's why the Incumbent Governor (senator liyel Imoke) has authoritatively allocated the southern senatorial seat for him.

oleary:


He's not heavier than Prince Out.....

then how come he won if he is not heavier than prince Edet Otu?

Op, u call Gesh unknown? For ur info he is a king maker in CRS politics.

That is why I hate reading Nigerian stories from their websites, they report it more and clearer here in Mexico.
Thought you said, "How" he won,and where is that in this afterall...smh

Gershom Bassey is not unknown. Although If the promaries were free and fair prince otu would have won. he is popular amongst his people that is why calabar south boys have taken to the streets protesting the primaries result and tearing down Gershom Bassey's posters.

Bassey was imposed on them by the Govenor in order to compensate him because according to their pact he should be getting the Govenorship ticket even though its not his zone's turn. If he wasnt so compensated he would put eye on being Govenor.

the reason why is that Gershom is from the south and the Governorahip has been zoned to the north.
