As the date for the 2023 Governorship and Houses of Assembly elections draw closer, youth leaders from the Central and Northern Senatorial Districts of the Cross River have called on the Southern District not to allow their turn to produce the next governor of the state slip pass them for any reason, as the Central is waiting for their turn after 8 years.
Speaking in a youth sensitisation and engagement organized by the DG of State Electrification Agency, SEA, Arch. Dr Eric Akpo at Calabar Municipality, the Chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria, Cross River State Council, Comrade Daniel Obo Jr, informed that if the south does not grab what belongs to her now, when it is the turn of the central senatoril district, whether or not the south has an occupant as governor, they will come for their turn after 8 years.
"Let it be known, that after 8 years, we from the central will show up for our turn. If the South likes, they can take their turn, if they like they should be deceived to give it to another district, Obo threatened.
On his part the DG of SEA, Architect Eric Akpo argued that it was only natural that the rotation of political power should start from where it started which is the southern senatorial district.
Adding that "a cycle that started with governorship in the south, moved to the central and moved to the north, it's only natural that that cycle has gone 360 degrees, and must come back to where it started"
Our correspondent learned that the duo took their tour across the 18 local government areas of the state preaching the "Back to South" message to young Cross Riverians.
