Dr. Justin Atiang Beshel, the Cross River State Commissioner for Science, Innovation, and Technology, has congratulated Sen. Bassey Edet Otu, the Governor of Cross River State, and the Deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Peter Odey on their victory at the Election Petition Tribunal.
On Tuesday, the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Sandy Onor, against the election of Bassey Otu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was struck out by the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal in Cross River State.
The panel decided to reject the petition on the grounds of its lack of merit. Dr. Beshel acclaimed the triumph of the Election Petition Tribunal as well-deserved and a significant achievement for democracy.
