Dr. Martin Orim also congratulated the Obudu State House of Assembly Member-Elect, Hon Sylvester Agabi and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as the Cross River electorate.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Sen. Prince Bassey Otu, the APC candidate, as winner of the election, having pulled a total of 258,619 votes to defeat his runner up Sen. Sandy Onor who had 179,636.
