THE fortunes of the All Progressives Congress in Cross River State ahead of next year’s governorship election swelled on Friday evening in Yakurr local government area of the central senatorial district of the state as many defected from the People’s Democratic Party to the APC.A serving member of the State Assembly, representing Yakurr 1 state constituency, Hon. Nelson Ofem, said they decided to join APC because the party has a candidate that is acceptable to his people and more popular.

The defection was one of the highlight of the event in Yukurr local government area on Friday evening when the governorship candidate of the APC, Senator Prince Bassey Otu touched down in the area as part of his consultation and thank you tour to delegates of the party who practically voted for him in the party primaries with financial inducement.

Ofem is among the six members in the 24 members’ legislature that remained in the PDP when 18 others followed the governor to decamp to the APC.

Speaking further of the APC governorship candidate and his reasons to defect at this time, Ofem said “Anybody that has a good conscience must support Sen Prince Bassey Otu. We have discovered that APC has a candidate that is dynamic and humble, that’s why we decided to switch.”

Receiving the defectors in Ugep, Yakurr Local government, the State APC Chairman, Barr Alphonsus Eba Ogar, assured them of fairness and equity in their new party, adding that APC remained an indivisible and united party in the state.

Meanwhile, the governorship candidate under the All Progressives Congress (APC) in next year’s general elections in Cross River State, Sen Prince Bassey Otu, has completed his thank you and consultative tour in the central senatorial district with traditional council institutions and party stalwarts in all six local government areas that made up the central senatorial district.

Nice one

Mushroom defection.

Delta, Taraba, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom, Abia and Cross Rivers are states where PDP is like a religion.

Fake news everywhere.. okorosss you never tired

Political parties have become irrelevant in Nigeria politics. We need to give room for independent candidates.

APC strategizing how to get their constitutionally required 25% in those states, Obituary supporters are getting deluded on some PDP traditional states.

As it stands, APC can easily get 25% in Rivers (through Wike if negotiation goes well), Bayelsa (Jonathan & Lyon), Cross River (The governor), Delta (Omo Agege and Itsekiri area), and Edo (Oshiomole and Edo North).

If they can secure the 25% in those states, then they can easily get to the 2/3 of the 36 states required 25%.

That’s why I’m 1000% sure Obi cannot even go anywhere because it is impossible for him to get 25% in 24 states as required by law. Where the guy wan see 24states?

Ok

The kind of money changing hands this season. Hmm

All I see is strategic moves and positioning to tap from the bullion van.

I see what u did here


Reverse psychology. You think Tinubu have SW by default but still think Atiku doesn't get NE by default?

Where is Tinubu's block votes hiding?

What you don’t know is that Atiku still have more chance of having 25% in SW states than Peter Obi would do.

PDP got their own structures in the SW too and in some of the states, they will have the required 25% in the SW.

I’m not using any reverse psychology, I’m just stating simple politivs.

How many times we dey see this news for FP?

When will they defect to LP?

Who cares bout Political parties, all that matters is the Candidacy of the party the man for the JOB
#OBIdient

You're a failure

we don tire for these old men,
from left to right and then right to left

Usual lies from Tinubu’s The Nation “Toilet” Newspaper. Try another lie. Cross River is solidly Obidient.

No sane Nigerian will like to be part of party of pain, suffering, hunger and death headed by a dunce, confirmed crook as presidential candidate and a terrorist VP candidate.

Where is their father of lies

Lies! No reasonable person can defect to APC @ a time like this. That's a big fat lie from the bottomless pit of hell. APC & lies are like 5&6, believe them @ your own peril.

How many times are they going to post the same shirt......APC will not win CR....That's PDP state...where are the pictures,,,,,,
