The Executive Chairman of Obanliku Local Government Area, Hon. Chief (Dr.) Sunny Ayang JP, alongside other distinguished state government officials and a jubilant crowd of Cross Riverians, gathered to warmly welcome the Governor, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu back to Cross River State.
The reception took place on Wednesday at the Margaret Ekpo International Airport, where the atmosphere was filled with excitement and celebration.
Governor Otu’s return followed a month-long leave that was initially approved by the Cross River State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Elvert Ayambem.
This leave was subsequently extended by an additional two weeks. However, the governor opted to decline the further extension, expressing his eagerness to resume his duties immediately and continue his service to the people of Cross River State.
