The People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Cross River State Chapter has named a former Channels TV broadcaster, Lady Emana Duke Ambrose-Amawhe, as running mate to Prof. Sandy Ojang Onor, its governorship candidate in the 2023 general elections.

Emana’s emergence was announced on Monday at the party’s secretariat in Calabar, the state capital amid fanfare.

Daily Independent gathered that if PDP wins victoriously in the forthcoming governorship election in the state, Lady Emana would be the party’s first female to deputize the male gender in thirty years.


It would be recalled that last week, youths from Akpabuyo, Bakassi, and Calabar South LG councils stormed the party secretariat, protesting the choice of Emana because she was relatively unknown in the political arrangements in the state.

Chairman of the party, Venatius Ikem who spoke after the announcement said that it was a herculean task to arrive at Emana because there was a galaxy of well-qualified gladiators for the position.

Ikem said her choice is divine and that they consulted widely, adding that the party needed new and younger faces, especially from the women folk.

“The choice of Emana was one of the landmark feats in my 10-month leadership of PDP in the state. I must be grateful to God for giving us as the running mate. It was the same feat when we successfully and admirably produced the governorship candidate in Senator Sandy Onor,” he said.

Speaking earlier, the PDP governorship hopeful, Sandy Onor who represents Cross River Central in the Senate, said they resolved to give women and the youths the slot as they are a major force in the party.

“We are broad-minded in PDP, giving everyone room, and always thinking of ways to make Cross River better.

“We needed a double-barrelled person, a young woman that can appeal to the women and the youths. Since Cecilia Ekpenyong in 1992, we have not carried women along.

“We need a loaded woman like Emana, deep, intellectual, exposed, bold with royal blood from Efik and Qua kingdoms, a media guru that can serve with us to change Cross River State.”

Accepting the challenge, Emana said many battles have been fought and won, adding that settling for a woman as PDP running mate in Cross River is a weighty statement.

“For Cross River to have a female running mate is a victory already for the party. You have given me this task in trust. It is a big challenge. I boldly accept it,” she said.

Oga,rerun is the best way to judge the main elections. In 2019 before the main elections,there was rerun in apc obudu and akpabuyo. PDP massacred apc.apc didnt even see up to 1k votes...what does that tell you? It is easier to rig in general elections than staggered polls.the apc candidate is from south and is very popular
