2027: We’ll Re-Elect Otu, Tinubu Without Apology – Senator Ndoma-Egba Declares

Former Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, has called on the people of Cross River State to support and re-elect President Bola Tinubu and Governor Bassey Otu in the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at an endorsement rally organized by the Central Progressive Initiative (CPI) in Ikom Local Government Area on Tuesday, Ndoma-Egba praised the performance of both leaders, stating that they have shown commitment and competence since taking office.

Ndoma-Egba, who is the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), emphasized the importance of political stability and continuity in governance. He noted that Cross River has long maintained a tradition of rotating the governorship across its senatorial districts and allowing incumbents to complete two terms.

“Today, we are here to endorse our Governor, Senator Bassey Otu, for a second term beyond 2027, and to also endorse our President and Commander-In-Chief, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for another term in office,” he declared.

Highlighting the state’s political tradition, he added: “In Cross River, we believe in equity and fairness. Since the return to democracy, each zone has had the opportunity to serve for eight years. Senator Otu should be given the same opportunity without distractions.”

The APC stalwart dismissed concerns about the timing of the endorsement, asserting that an early show of support would allow the Governor to stay focused on governance rather than be sidetracked by politics.

“Some may say it’s too early, but I disagree. The sooner the better. An early endorsement gives Governor Otu the peace of mind to concentrate on delivering good governance. It also helps build a foundation of continuity and stability,” he explained.

He concluded by encouraging constituents from the Central Senatorial District to continue supporting both Tinubu and Otu, pledging unwavering backing from his zone ahead of the 2027 elections.
