The Senator traced his antecedents and acknowledged the fact that he is aware of the challenges faced by his people. He further stressed that the mandate given to him is the mandate of Obudu people.

CrossRiverWatch gathered that, in a resolve to demonstrate total support for their son, all the villages in Obudu had summoned all and sundry the previous day with their native drums and announced the expected arrival of ‘their son’ in their respective play grounds and barred anyone from either going to the farm or opening the markets or shops but to all throng the stadium to welcome the governorship hopeful.

Consequently, the people of Obudu in an obvious show of solidarity flooded the Chief J.A. Agba’s memorial stadium and waited from morning till late in the evening when the Senator’s entourage arrived from Bekwara LGA where he had earlier gone to campaign.
