The newly appointed secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Cross River State chapter, Hon. Patrick Asikpo Okon (Petido), has assured party faithful that he would be committed to the implementation of strategic plans that wouldl reform the political process during his tenure as the State Secretary of the party.

Hon. Okon, who spoke shortly after his inauguration, described his political trajectory as a product of contentment and resilience inspired by the mentorship of the State Governor, Sen. Bassey Edet Otu.

"I am humbled and grateful today, not just to the Almighty God for the gift of life and this momentous day, but also to His Excellency the esteemed Governor, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu.

His mentorship has taught me the virtue of contentment and the power of resilience. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down "politics is replete with eroded values and marked by desperation and cunning devises which compounds the challenge of leadership yet the mission to truly transform the polity has led us to admire individuals of high moral standing who rise above the deceit and the duplicity often found in politics." he said.

The newly appointed scribe added that integrity, perseverance and dedication to the course of transforming the polity shall be his policy trust while working with the Government in areas that align the best interest of the Cross River people.

He expressed confidence that the party will continue to wax stronger; rise above adverse effects and stand out as a force to reckon with.
