Oshiomhole inaugurates Cross River APC committee

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday inaugurated a new working committee (SWC) for the party in Cross River State.

The chapter had been in crisis since two parallel congresses produced two different executive committees in May this year.

The SWC that was inaugurated by the National Chairman was elected during the congress that was recently conducted by a five-man committee, led by Mr Henry Idah Agbom, and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The members of the SWC, which has Dr Mathew Achigbe as Chairman,  Sir John Ochalla as Vice Chairman and Bishop Victor Ebong as Secretary, emerged through voice votes by delegates.

Oshiomhole, who was represented by the National Vice Chairman (Southsouth), Ntufam Hillard Eta, said it was the wisdom of the National Working Committee to dissolve the state executive committee and elect a new one to move the party forward.

The congress committee chairman, Agbom, said the party needed a united front in Cross River State to take over government in 2019.

He expressed confidence that with the inauguration, the party would win the governorship election in the state next year.

The new chairman, Dr Achigbe, expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari, and Comrade Oshiomhole for remaining committed to the rule of law.

He promised to work hard to ensure victory in next year’s general elections.

Achigbe also expressed commitment to re-electing President Buhari next year.

He called for the support of party members to guarantee success.

The senator representing Cross River Central, John Owan-Enoh, said the party would get stronger.

Among delegates at the congress yesterday were former Governor, Clement Ebri; former Tourism and Culture Minister, Chief Edem Duke; former senator (Cross River South), Prince Bassey Otu.
