The governor of Cross River State in southern Nigeria, Senator Bassey Otu, has pledged commitment to an all-inclusive governance and Open Door Policy.
Governor Otu made the promise in a Democracy Day message to the people of Cross River State signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Ogbeche.
According to the governor, his administration’s mantra encapsulated in the Peoples First Agenda was his commitment to economic growth, prosperity and security across the state.
He urged citizens to support his government and the administration of the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to succeed, noting that democratic gains could only be achieved with the backing and encouragement of the people.
While urging citizens to shun acts capable of truncating democratic governance in the state and country at large, the governor stated, “having come a long way as a country, we must do even more to preserve this democracy for the sake of posterity.”
Continuing, Otu said, apart from being the fifth conservative democratic transfer of power from one administration to another since the beginning of the 4th Republic, it marks the beginning of a new and critical administration in our almost 23 years of unbroken democratic experience.
“I urge you my dear people, not only to pray for the success of the new administration, but also to work and walk with us to our greatness,” the governor appealed.
He added, “let us continue to support the administration of our President, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as well as the mandate you gave to me and my dear brother, Peter Odey.”
