Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has boasted that governors of Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa states will soon join the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said this while rejoicing that from having Cross River as the lone APC-governed state in the South-South, the party now proudly shares the progressive banner with Delta and Edo States.
Otu, who spoke on his return to Calabar after the detection ceremony of PDP leaders in Delta State said: “An increasing number of South-South states under APC governance is a dream realized."
Governor Otu noted that when the other three states are finally captured, it will set the stage for deeper regional collaboration, accelerated economic development, and greater political stability.
Otu, who is also the Vice Chairman of the South-South Governors’ Forum, urged Governor Oborevwori, other political stalwarts, and their supporters who have now joined the APC to bring their wealth of experience and grassroots mobilization strength to bear in advancing the collective quest for a flourishing South-South and a renewed Nigeria.
Governor Otu assured that together in APC, "the six states shall chart a new course of greatness for the region and our nation."
