Ndifereke BASSEY
The Cross River State governor, Senator Bassey Otu, has disclosed that his administration has wiped out 16 camps used by miscreants in the state.
The governor, who made this known at the UJ Esuene Stadium during an endorsement rally organised by the Cross River South Consultative Forum for President Tinubu and Governor Otu ahead of the 2027 general elections, said only one of the camps is left and their deadline has lapsed, assuring that going into July there will be no camp in the state.
"We have taken up the challenge of insecurity and we can sleep with both eyes closed.
"When we came into office, I think we had over 16 camps, today we have wiped them out and only one is left and their deadline has passed as at 30th June 2025.
"As we move into this month, there will be no camp again for miscreants in Cross River State, we will crush it.
"All those who are remaining have come out for amnesty and we are making sure they are properly integrated into the society and will live a normal life like others", Gov Otu said.
The governor said his administration has made a mark in all areas and he does not think the government's fidelity can be tested in terms of delivering the deliverables.
He also disclosed that the state is solidly behind President Tinubu ahead of the next general elections and nothing will stop the president from getting 96% votes from the state.
Eba reads riot act
Alphonsus Eba, Chairman of APC in Cross River, defended their support for President Tinubu and Governor Otu saying the party has passed a vote of confidence on them.
He threatened sanctions on any member of the party in the state who goes against the decision of the party in this regard.
