Cross River: SDP guber, Ekpo candidate accepts defeat, congratulates Ayade
“Nevertheless, I will not provide cannon fodder for lawyers and rumour mongers by going to an election tribunal. Instead, I will look to the future and join to pray that Governor Ben Ayade’s second tenure will be much better than the first; so that sooner rather than later, our beloved State shall be firmly placed once again on the path of steady growth and development in an atmosphere of high quality governance and well-secured, lasting peace” he said.
“Any unbiased follower of our campaign will testify that Cross Riverians appreciated and bought into our Recover And Restore programme. Our F.R.E.S.H. Manifesto was made public early on in the campaign. “From Bekwarra to Bakassi, the core message of Recover And Restore resonated deeply with our people. Sadly, the popular will was intimidated, subverted and cast aside by vote buying, multiple thumb printing, violence, intimidation and enough malpractices to make a voluminous text, all with election officials looking on helplessly, or in many cases actively collaborating.
“I must express my heartfelt thanks to my resilient team in the Eyo Ekpo Campaign Organisation; my running mate and now close friend, Engr. Wofai Ewa, the various candidates and Party members who stood firm and loyal and worked tirelessly for our just cause.
