CALABAR - The Leadership of Labour Party in Cross River State led by Rt. Hon. Daniel Asuquo, AKA 'Dansuki' former lawmaker and Labour Party Southern Senatorial District candidate for the 2023 election has called on the governor of Cross River State to reciprocate the kind gesture meted on him by the party during the 2023 governorship race where the party overwhelmingly supported and voted for him.
Dansuki said the party supported and voted for Prince Otu to become governor and it's time for the governor to honour the party by ensuring a level playing ground in the forthcoming Local Government Elections and allow the people's votes to count.
He said the party has an unfinished business with the governor which is the People's First and that means the people's votes must count and the peoples will must be respected in the forthcoming elections.
The former lawmaker who was speaking during the formal declaration of intent by the Calabar Municipality Chairmanship candidate, Hon. Shadrach Ikpeme (Papa Ikpeme) of Labour Party recently held in Calabar encouraged party members to be statefast and do the needful as God will crown their efforts with success.
"Labour Party supported the governor of Cross River State, we didn't not support APC, we support Prince Otu as a person, we supported him as our governor, and we have an unfinished business with him. And the unfinished business we have with him is the 'People First'. The People First means the people's voice must count, the People's vote must count and the will od the People must previous over personal interest". He said. 
"To change Cross River State, the governor promised People First, and we are seeing the dividends of democracy, and the dividends of democracy must also represent the people's choice." He concluded.
Papa Ikpeme who shared his blueprint for Calabar Municipality said he is ready to revolutionise agriculture in Calabar Municipality, ensure a functional health care delivery system by focusing on improving quality primary healthcare. He added that Education will be given a place of pride in his administration as he intend to improve on the federal government initiated home grown feeding program while ensuring a conducive learning and teaching environment in public schools within Municipality.
