January 14, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of Cross River State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Apostle Trinity Ogar, says the state will get to greater glory during the administration of Senator Bassey Otu.
The PFN chairman made this known in Calabar while formally reacting to the Supreme Court verdict on the state’s 2023 election which upheld the election of Senator Bassey Otu as governor of the state.
Apostle Ogar, who is also the Lead Pastor of Goldcity Gospel Ministry, reiterated his appeal to aggrieved parties, urging them to sheath their partisan swords and rather join forces with ‘God’s anointed’ Governor Otu in building the Cross River state that everyone desires.
“After the Supreme Court verdict, the governor is no longer that of a political party; he is now the governor of Cross River State. He should open his arms as the father of the State and receive and treat everybody as a Cross Riverian. And we trust that with him, Cross River would get to greater glory.
“We will keep on praying for him and our dear State for it to take its pride of place in the comity of Nigerian states as the best.
“With the man of honour and integrity at the helm of affairs, you can see that positive things are beginning to happen in the state that are a pointer to a better tomorrow. So, let no one do anything that would truncate the good vision of His Excellency.
“We should rather bring our experiences to bear to see that the Otu-led administration delivers on the dividends of democracy,” the PFN Chairman remarked.
He highlighted the achievements of the governor over the past few months and appealed for support to the governor.
“You can see that the potholes are disappearing. I am sure that he would go ahead of filling potholes to giving us good roads.
“Street lights are back on the streets, our taps are back after years of dryness. We see the new innovation of solar-powered lights. He is doing so much in the education sector already.
“These are signs that he is going to do well. So let us give him all the support.
“If the present administration could achieve so much without a full government on board, with an end to litigations and the subsequent appointment of heads of agencies, boards and other parastatals, the Otu-led administration is primed to take Cross River State to greater heights,” he stated.
The Supreme Court had last Friday upheld the election of the governor following an appeal against his election by Professor Sandy Onor of the People’s Democratic Party.
