The erstwhile Minister of Niger-Delta, Pst Dr. Usani Uguru and an All Progressives Party – APC in Cross River State has in a letter dated 26th May, 2021 communicated his readiness to embrace the leadership of Sen. Prof. Ben Ayade.
In his words, “Beyond my message of congratulations as conveyed through GSM text, I hereby formally express my message of “WELCOME” from your erstwhile political affiliation to the All Progressives Congress (APC). From the inception of the present democratic phase, which began in 1999, Cross River State has remained in the governance of one particular party, which hitherto formed Government at the centre. It is relieving to breathe the freshness of belonging to the party that no longer plays the drums of “opposition” in the State.
As you perform your role in leading the State and Party apparatus, we have a duty to offer you the utmost possible assistance, with committed conscience for your good to be better and your better, best.
Accept my warm felicitation”
Sincerely yours
