New Governor of Cross River State, Bassey Otu, yesterday, took oath of office and promised to revisit the Bakassi case. His promise is contained in his inaugural speech shortly after taking the oath with his Deputy, Peter Odey.
Otu, who represented South Senatorial District in the Eight Assembly, said with his experience as a legislator, he would provide good governance to the people.
“With our People-First agenda, safety, peaceful co-existence and security of lives and properties are major pillars of my administration. For the few, who take pride in criminality, there shall be no hiding place and only two options are on the table: turn a new leaf within our upcoming amnesty window or vacate Cross River State without delay. Our administration shall have zero tolerance for criminality in whatever form or shade.
“We shall further engage the Federal Government and international community to review obnoxious judgments against us with the aim of creating relief in the pains arising from the loss of Bakassi and the ceding of our 76 oil wells and streamline our boundaries to minimise communal crisis.”
