The lawmaker representing the people of Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency in the Green Chamber of the Federal Legislature, Rep Bassey Akiba, has extended his deepest congratulations to Governor Bassey Otu as Cross Riverians celebrate his laudable and remarkable achievements two after mounting the saddle in Cross River State.
Otu was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Cross River State on May 29, 2023, after a triumphant outing in the guber polls where Cross Riverians gladly gave him the mandate to take charge of the affairs of the state.
Rep Akiba, a grassroots politician and astute parliamentarian working hard to support his constituents in various ways to put smiles on their faces, in his congratulatory message to the governor, said:
“On behalf of the resilient and visionary people of Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency, I, Rep Bassey Akiba, extend my heartfelt congratulations to our amiable Governor, His Excellency, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, on the occasion of his two-year anniversary in office.
“Your leadership has not only redefined governance in Cross River State, but it has also rekindled hope in the hearts of our people. From economic revitalization to infrastructural renewal, you have remained a bridge between promises made and promises delivered.
“In our constituency, we are proud witnesses of your impact. The Adiabo-Creek Town Road, though ongoing, has already changed our reality. What once took over four hours now takes less than forty minutes. That single improvement has brought relief to many families, farmers and businesses.
“Your administration’s dedication to rehabilitating roads within Calabar Municipality, restoring the clean and green aesthetic, reviving the state library, and the reinstallation of street lights signals a government committed to both development and dignity.
“With the launch of Operation Okwok, you have drawn a bold line between peace and insecurity. Just like the bee, this security initiative stings the enemies of progress while protecting the lives of law-abiding citizens.
“In alignment with your people’s First governance mantra, we have remained committed to initiatives that uplift our people, transform communities, and deliver measurable impact with focus on our 3 core area (Educational support program, Livelihood support program and Healthcare support program) as always updated on our NASSDesk platform on our social media.
“Therefore, as you mark two years of distinguished service, we salute your vision, courage, and compassion. The story of Cross River under your watch is one of restoration, innovation, and transformation.
“May God continue to grant you the wisdom and strength to elevate our dear state to even greater heights.
“Congratulations, Sir! Your legacy continues to unfold in bold, golden letters.”
