Elvert Ayambem, has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Governor Senator Prince Bassey Otu following his victory at the Governorship election petition tribunal. In a statement issued today, Speaker Ayambem commended the resilience and commitment of the Governor in the face of opposition challenges.

He stressed the need for unity and urged the opposition to lay down their swords and embrace total peace for the greater good of Cross River State.
“This victory is a resounding affirmation of the will and wishes of Cross Riverians at the Governorship polls,” Speaker Ayambem stated. He expressed gratitude to the people of the state for their unwavering support throughout the electoral process.
