Attn: All Intending 2023 Cross River Governorship Aspirants BY AGBA JALINGO

I hope all of you are already aware that:

• Cross River is heavily indebted.
• Cross River is nearly out of favor with lenders.
• Cross River gets one of the lowest allocations from FAAC.
• Cross River has one of the lowest IGR figures in the country.
• Cross River has severe manpower gap.
• Governor Ayade has further exacerbated all these problems.

Note that, when one of you is eventually selected, then you take us back to these same old excuses that we all know already. We will not take these nonsense excuses anymore.

Let those who seek power alone without any problem solving ideas, inspite of these our challenges listed supra, not waste our precious time. We are looking for someone who has solutions despite those our challenges. Not one that will come and use them as excuses for not performing.

Nobody is begging you to contest now o. Don’t contest and come later to start complaining as if we are stressing you.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Citizen Agba Jalingo.
