The formation of the Northern Cross River State Political Movement (NORTHCRIPOM) by Prince Michael Nkum Abuo has encountered huge backlash from its intended members.
The NORTHCRIPOM group, initially conceived as a unifying platform to align with the principles of the Northern Cross River Coalition (NORTHCCO), which was formed to rally political support for Governor Bassey Otu and other notable figures from Northern Cross River in anticipation of the 2027 elections, has rapidly spiraled into controversy.
NORTHCRIPOM took an unexpected turn when Nkum Abuo publicly contradicted his earlier statements. According to Abuo, “Instead of a candidate less than the profile and proven people building the capacity of JAJ, we will openly repeat and canvass for Jarigbe’s return… Northern CRS will never settle for less, never again!” This declaration not only shifted the group’s focus but also alienated many members who were initially supportive.
In response to Abuo’s comments, a wave of discontent swept through the proposed structure of NORTHCRIPOM, prompting numerous members to issue formal public disclaimers. While they reaffirmed their membership with the NORTHCCO, they have vehemently distanced themselves from Nku Abuo’s NORTHCRIPOM, expressing concerns that Abuo’s recent statements misrepresent their collective goals and values.

Fraudulent association with NORTHCRIPOM
This is to bring to the attention of the general public that I, Augustine Wonor categorically disassociate myself from the fraudulent and unwholesome association known as NORTHCRIPOM, in which I was falsely and disingenuously listed as Director of Security without my knowledge, consultation, or consent. Any claims or representations linking me to this group are entirely false, unauthorized, and misleading. I have never been involved with NORTHCRIPOM in any capacity, and I hereby frown on any attempts to associate my name with the activities of the so-called NORTHCRIPOM.

DISCLAIMER ON APPOINTMENT AS DEPUTY DIRECTOR GENERAL, NORTHERN CROSS RIVER STATE POLITICAL MOVEMENT (NORTHCRIPOM)
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN….
I write to publicly denounce my membership and appointment circulating on social media under the auspices of Northern Cross River State Political Movement (NORTHCRIPOM) as Deputy director general of the above-named group.
This is also aimed at clearly stating that the group doesn’t meet the supposed requirements to exist under the Northern Cross River Coalition (NORTHCCO).
I wish to also make known that, the group has no hands and correlation with NORTHCCO and the activities of one Prince Michael Nku Abou on social media, therefore, I urge the general public to discountenance herself from its activities, as the originator of the group doesn’t have the backing of the entire stakeholders and leaders of the Northern Cross River Senatorial District of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
However, I pledge my total and unalloyed support and dedication to the leadership of NORTHCCO, and I promise to deliberately and consciously work side by side with the Objectives, Vision, and Mission Statement of NORTHCCO.

Let me categorically state that I remain fully committed to the success of Northcco. Therefore, I completely dissociate myself from that so-called Committee of Friends, as their modus operandi does not align with my principles and reasoning.
