The Senator representing Cross River South Senatorial District, Asuquo Ekpenyong, has praised Governor Bassey Otu for what he described as exemplary leadership, following the emergence of Ben Akak through a consensus process within the All Progressives Congress.
He said, “The way His Excellency, the governor has led the state and led the party paved the way for the unanimous agreement of a consensus, and that is the type of leadership that we admire and extol.”
The lawmaker described the process leading to Akak’s emergence as smooth and reflective of the party’s internal cohesion.
“I love the way the conversation went, very smoothly, which shows true leadership,” he added.
Ekpenyong also commended President Bola Tinubu for his remarks at the convention, saying they reflected clarity on governance and political direction.
“Mr President spoke to his achievements; it reflected that a true politician is now the president of our dear country,” he said.
The senator further highlighted what he described as the APC’s growing political expansion in the South-South, noting that the region has witnessed increased alignment with the ruling party since the 2023 general elections.
“We started off with lesser numbers than we had now at the end of March 2023 after the general elections, but today, the story has changed significantly,” he stated.
According to him, the region, which previously had limited APC presence, has recorded broader acceptance across states.
