The election was attended by Governor Ben Ayade, incumbent Governor of Cross River State and several other APC stakeholders and members.

Recall that on Monday, May 9, 2022, in Abuja, a unanimous decision by the 17 Governorship aspirants and Party critical Stakeholders declared Senator (Prince) Bassey Otu as the consensus candidate of the APC for the 2023 governorship election in Cross River State.

The meeting, which was presided over by Governor Ayade, had in attendance the State Chairman, Barr. Alphonsus Ogar Eba, other Exco members and the 17 Gubernatorial aspirants under the platform of the APC.

However, some of the aspirants disagreed afterwards, with Pst. Usani Usani, former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs leaving the APC to join PRP and Barr. Agara proceeding to purchase the Interest and Nomination forms under the same party.

Owan-Enoh, on the other hand, stepped down and threw his full support behind Prince Otu on May 19, 2022, in a critical stakeholders meeting held in Calabar.

With the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP earlier electing Sen. Sandy Onor as its candidate for the 2023 governorship election in Cross River State, the battle line is drawn between the two biggest opposition parties in the state and country at large.

Who will emerge as the Governor of Cross River State in 2023: Senator Sandy Onor or Prince Bassey Otu?
