When election results that ought to take 24hrs to declare the winner is taking 2 to 3 days,it is a pointer that rigging is taking place.

This 2023 election is very interesting.

Like Buddha3 has told you above…

You need to understand that APC’s victory in Ebonyi and Cross River does not portray likeness for the party but due to some local dynamics.

In Cross River, it was the turn of the South and PDP foolishly gave their ticket to somebody from the Central in total disregard to that gentleman agreement.

It was same story in Ebonyi. It’s the turn of Ebonyi North to produce the governor and only APC gave their ticket to somebody from Ebonyi North.

APGA gave it to somebody from the central. While PDP was even more foolish by giving their ticket to somebody from Umahi’s village.

So, Ebonyi people had no choice than to respect that zoning arrangement by voting for the APC candidate.

Do you know that even Anyim Pius Anyim had to put his political differences with Umahi aside to endorse Nwifuru even though he’s like the leader of PDP in Ebonyi right now?

That’s how they won, so don’t gloat about it.

Let me even spice up your evening the more:

Sandy Onor is from Ikom LGA in the central. I am from Yakurr LGA in the same central. But I vigorously campaigned for Prince Otu in Cross River, though I don't currently reside in my home State. And from the results, Prince Otu convincingly won in my Local Government.

See, political enlightenment doesn't correlate with party allegiance in my State. We consciously study and understand candidates, then sensitize our people on the need(s) to cast their votes for the right leaders. Ben Ayade has been the only electoral mistake we have had in over 3 decades, and he was imposed by the Governor before him, Liyel Imoke, owing to monetary arrangements between them.

Right from Clement Ebri, to Donald Duke, to Liyel Imoke himself, we have always picked our Governors with a sound measure of awareness and devoid of party or crowd sentiments.

Outside the fact that Sandy's emergence defied long standing agreements, he lacks the capacity to deliver a decent leadership when put side by side with Prince Bassey Otu. So even as brothers, we campaigned and voted against Sandy. We completely ignored the party he belongs to.

I love my State. We don't do blind politics. We voted for Peter Obi in the Presidential elections because we believe in his capacity to deliver, despite the fact the government in power is APC. Now we have gone ahead to elect Bassey Otu for the Governorship against Sandy who is coming from the traditional PDP platform that the State has been used to. So this has nothing to do with any of the parties. The people spoke and INEC listened! You cannot rig elections in Cross River. Yakurr in Cross River is the only Nigerian LGA that successfully dismantled and dislodged an Army barrack over the unbearable antics of military personnel, years ago (I stand corrected).

Cross River people I know are happy with his win. So congrats to him.

Before some ediots start to quote me. Bear in mind that all of these people supported Obi/Atiku for presidency. Except you are voting for a party and not the individual, get a grip of yourself.
God bless you, my sister. They all think it's all about the party, forgetting the individual matters the most.

Wow! I give it up for Yakurr people if they truly did that.

Meanwhile, I found out before the election that Cross River people like Bassey Otu so I expected his victory.

I see wike and makinde pulling out of PDP soon.

Makinde could still remain in PDP in a kind of quasi alliance with the centre and for the interest of SW......as for wike,he is going to be left with no choice as he as totally destroyed the bridge with PDP and any form of reconciliation isnt very likely and if it happens will be half hearted at best.

Wike needs protection and it's tinubu that can give him that right now and there is definitely space for him in APC as amaechi is out the door already.

Na personality dem dey vote, even if the person is in APC, Prince Bassey Otu is loved with huge followers, remember Peter Obi won in Cross River State via Labour Party.

This year's elections is all about Personality not Party.

Well deserved!

Party platform aside, Sweet Prince Bassey Otu is roundly liked in Cross River. He's a good man with a good heart who has impacted in the lives of the citizens even in his individual capacity. Plus the fact the Governorship seat was meant to return to Cross River South after the despicable 8years of that stupid midget, Ben Ayade.

The fact that Sandy Onor of PDP even had the audacity to come out to contest being from the central, speaks a lot about the heavy measure of greed in that his square shaped head!

APC is not bad but some people managing the image or ideology of the party are incompetent, party is just a vehicle to get you to your destination.
Prince Bassey Otu is a nice person even though he is in APC, Gov Ayade was smart to have given him the ticket to run for Governor cos he is popular in Calabar & people likes him &has statewide acceptability.
