The crowd was effusive as they played host to the Governor Senator Prof Ben Ayade CON, the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Cross River State, Senator Prince Bassey Otu, the State Party Chairman Barr Alphonsus Eba Ogar, dignitaries and party supporters.

The governorship candidate of the party Sen Prince Bassey Otu used the opporturnity to unveil his blueprint he called "The People's First Manisfestoe". He said the governor, Senator Prof Ben Ayade has left a big shoe they have to step into and acknowledged that the state has an emerging economy that if rejigged can employ one to two million of Cross River youths. He urged Cross Riverians to be ready to grab the opportunities that will come their way as a result of the foundation that has been laid by Gov. Ben Ayade.

The Governor Sen. Prof Ben Ayade CON in his speech said the governorship candidate of the party Sen Prince Bassey Otu has all it takes to lead Cross River State, he reiterated that he plays politics of ethics with a touch of humanism. "it is  the turn of the South, it has gone round the North and Central, it's based on equity that it should return to the South after 16 years, no candidate is contesting in the Central for n

ow" he said.

The Director General of the Campaign Council Ambassador Sunny Abang in his speech said Governor Ayade came to liberate the state from it's oppressors. He reiterated that since 1999 it's the PDP that has been in governance in Cross River State, and as such Ayade inherited a heavy debt burden from his predecessors. Whatever went wrong is the PDP because APC is a new party in the state.

The State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Barr Alphonsus Eba Ogar urged the people to vote the APC from top to bottom in the general elections, he said we will reclaim our stolen mandate of Cross River North in the forth coming Senatorial election, he urged the people to exercise their franchise through the ballot box.

The occasion also witness the defection of hundreds of people from the PDP to the ruling APC. One of the defectors Mr Emmanuel Lifu  who spoke on behalf of the defectors said the APC is a complete team, unlike where he is coming from you only have five team players who dictate the pace and activities of the party. They promised to work hard and deliver all APC candidates in the elections.
