2027: Cross River APC Support Group endorses Tinubu, Otu for second term
A support group under the All Progressives Congress, Cross River State Political Network, has organised a mega rally endorsing Governor Bassey Otu and President Bola Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
The rally was held at the U.J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar on Saturday, with party faithful, leaders, and supporters from all 196 wards and 18 local government areas across the state in attendance.
Speaking at the event, the Director General of CRISPON, Dr. Micheal Abuo, highlighted the grassroots mobilisation efforts that led to the successful rally, noting that over 7,000 persons were mobilized from the northern senatorial district alone, with thousands more from the central and southern zones joining in support of the APC.
He said, “This was made possible by grassroots mobilization in all three senatorial zones. The turnout today sends a clear message that Cross River is fully behind President Tinubu and Governor Otu. We believe in their leadership despite the challenges they’ve inherited.”
He praised President Tinubu’s reforms, particularly the removal of the fuel subsidy, which he said has resulted in increased revenue allocations to states and local governments, empowering them to carry out impactful projects.
“President Tinubu has made Nigeria a development hub. Here in Cross River, Governor Otu has started fixing the little things—roads, wages, and civil service. These are the foundations of bigger achievements,” he stated.
Addressing the crowd via telephone, Governor Bassey Otu expressed appreciation for the overwhelming support and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to inclusive governance and development.
“My spirit is completely there with all of you. I assure you that there will be more appointments and opportunities for everyone.I implore you to continue to believe in what you are doing. We are moving forward and not backwards,” Otu said.
He commended CRISPON’s leadership, describing them as the “number one support group” of the APC, and promised that his administration would continue to work in harmony with the people, creating opportunities throughout the state.
