Rt. Hon. Hilary Bisong, Deputy Leader of Cross River House of Assembly and member representing Boki 2 State Constituency, has said that the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Cross River has birthed a future for young leaders.
Bisong, who is the candidate for Boki 2 in the 2023 polls, said this during a campaign rally in political wards of Boki 2 State Constituency.
He noted that all the candidates of APC in the state were young people who have the drive and conviction to make things right for their constituents.
According to him, while the People's Democratic Party was recycling their candidates in the state, APC gave their tickets to younger candidates who are widely accepted by the people.
"Gov. Ben Ayade's defection to APC opened a new chapter for youths in politics in Cross River. Today, over 80 per cent of the state executive council and other appointees are youths.
"While PDP were recycling their candidates who have been in office since 1999 with no meaningful impact, APC is coming on board with fresh and young people who are passionate about doings differently.
"I urge you, the good people of Ogep ward, to come out en mass and vote for all the APC candidates in the state.
"Gov. Ayade in his wisdom identified and appointed thousands of youths into his government; we must not fail him, we must elect the youth to represent us," he said.
The Deputy Leader also asked the people of Ogep ward to vote massively for the APC governorship candidate in the state, Sen. Bassey Otu.
He explained that the state has been practicing rotational governorship since 1999, adding that 2023 was the turn of the South to produce the next governor.
Also speaking, Mr Kelvin Njong, Chapter Chairman of APC in Boki Local Government Area, called on the people to vote for all the candidates of the party during the polls.
Similarly, the Chairman of Boki Local Government Area, Mr John Ewa, said that the candidates of APC from the area will attract development to Boki if voted into office. (NAN)
