The Senior Secondary Education Board (SSEB) has directed principals of public secondary schools across Cross River State to converge in Calabar for an endorsement rally in support of Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy ahead of the 2027 governorship election.
The directive was contained in SSEB Circular No. 08 of 2026, dated May 18, 2026, and signed by the Board Secretary, Prince Lawrence Eyo Nsa, for the Chairman of SSEB.
According to the circular addressed to the President of the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) and all principals in the state, the endorsement rally is being organized in recognition of what the board described as the governor’s “people-first impactful governance, commendable innovations and far-reaching education policies deliberately intended to reform the education sector and the secondary education sub-sector.”
The circular stated that the state leadership of ANCOPSS, with the support of SSEB, considered it “expedient” to organise the rally to endorse Governor Otu and his deputy for a second term in office.
The event is scheduled to hold on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at the WAPI event center in Calabar by 10:00 a.m.
SSEB further directed all principals across the state to attend the event, while principals in the Southern Senatorial District are specifically instructed to mobilized their teachers for participation.
“Kindly accord this directive with the serious attention it deserves,” the circular directed.
