The Speaker of the Cross River State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem has fervently urged his constituents in his hometown of Nde to support the Prince Otu-led administration in every way possible. He made this known on Sunday, April 14, 2024, during a sensitization tour in his constituency, Nde, Ikom 2.
According to Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem, the tour was necessitated by the overwhelming admiration of the people of Ikom 2 State Constituency for the Governor’s commendable democratic dividends. Throughout the tour, the Speaker emphasised how political party-conscious behaviours frequently impede advancement and development in any community, particularly following elections.
Speaker Ayambem bemoaned the fact that the struggle for political dominance has replaced cooperative efforts to support the government in providing the people with high-quality services.
The Speaker reaffirmed that party differences have been a major impediment to any administration’s success. In the Tenth Assembly, which he leads as Speaker, he gave an example of a positive relationship he had with its diverse membership.
The Deputy Minority Leader, Hon. Brian Odey, was identified by Ayambem during the meeting as the Labour Party’s candidate to represent Yala 1 State Constituency.
The Constituents applauded his move to unite the people of Nde against political parties’ divergent interests, to support Governor Otu’s administration.
The Deputy Minority Leader of CRSHA, Hon. Brian Odey; Chief of Staff to the Speaker, Mr. Anakan Victor; Former DG of the Mature Justice Movement Campaign Organisation, Hon. Asinya Ntan; Director of the Ikom Urban Development Authority, Mr. Esoso Anah; Community Relations Officer, Mr Sagas Mbeh; and Hon. Mrs Enegbe Ndoma, former Nde ward councillor, were among the distinguished attendees at the well-attended meeting.
