Calabar – The flag bearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2019 governorship election in Cross River State, Senator John Owan-Enoh has formally presented his choice of running mate to some stakeholders of the party in the state.
His choice is Ntufam Ekpo Okon who comes with a rich knowledge of the political landscape of the state having been a one-time state chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and had at different times been in charge of directing some critical sections of campaign affairs for two former governors in the state.
Speaking while presenting Ntufam Okon to party stakeholders, Sen. Owan-Enoh appealed to members of the party who are rightly “foundation members” and acknowledged their efforts in nurturing the party overtime without his immediate consideration of them for his choice of running mate.
According to the Governorship Candidate, the choice of Ntufam Ekpo Okon as Deputy Governorship Candidate was to add value to the party’s quest for elections victory.
He promised to unite all interest groups and call on all hands to be on deck to secure victory for the APC in the state.
He said: “With victory we will be in government and many will be called upon to take responsibility in developing the state and giving us better days as a people.”
Sen. Owan-Enoh debunked the rumour that he had offered the position of running mate to many others before deciding on Ntufam Ekpo Okon.
He also addressed the issue over his position as the party’s flag bearer in the state saying that contrary to rumour that his name has been replaced with that of the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Pastor Usani Usani, he still remains the party’s flag-bearer for next year’s polls

No sir.ayade is a goner.in a free and fair poll,he will lose heavily

APC state are not even role-models to effect change, rather states and Nigeria at large are struggling to get themselves out. Am afraid Lagos which used to be the difference has finally joined the trail of failed states.

Ambode failed woefully... lagos was in a better place with fashola and Tinubu.

What am saying is, Lagos used to be the envy of opposition and states wanting to copy its model, but right now Lagos is a shadow of its previous self.
