CRS GOVERNOR PRAISES TINUBU FOR BEING DECISIVE ON APPOINTMENT OF MR OROK DIKE INTO NDDC. 01-09-23
By: Sadiq Aminu The Cross River state Governor, Prince Bassey Otu has hailed President Bola Tinubu for acting decisively on the Cross River State nominee for the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC.
Governor Otu made his position know after the president redressed the earlier nomination of an opposition member as the state representative on the commission’s board.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Ogbeche says the governor is impressed by the swiftness which the President moved to address the situation.
“I wish to graciously thank Mr. President for acting timely and decisively in correcting what I believe was not a deliberate anomaly in the nomination of a non-member of our great party, the APC, into the Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
“The swiftness in which the matter that has agitated millions of our party faithful not just in Cross River State, but across the country, demonstrates that we have a listening president, one who is prepared to respond to the yearning and aspirations of not just APC members, but Nigerians in general,” Governor Otu said.
According to the Governor, there was indeed Renewed Hope in the state and country at large and he urged Nigerians to continue to give their support to the president’s policies and programmes aimed at boosting the economic fortunes of all citizens.
Governor Otu used the opportunity to congratulate Mr. Orok Duke on his being named into the NDDC board and charged him to see it as opportunity to attract developmental projects to the state especially oil-bearing communities.
The governor also hailed members of the All Progressives Congress in the state for being steadfast, and urged them to be patient with his administration.
