“We have come with an alabaster of endorsements. And we are pouring generously and unreservedly on our dear Captain of the Progressives… the Jagaban of Africa.”
He stated that the South South region is already making progress under President Tinubu’s leadership and called on party members to stay united.
“We in the South-South have tasted and trusted the capacity of Mr. President,” he said.
Governor Otu highlighted that Cross River was one of the first states in the South South to align with the APC, even at a time when it seemed politically isolated.
“We assuaged the loneliness with the conviction that we took an informed decision because hope was indeed on the horizon,” he explained.
He outlined several accomplishments of the Tinubu administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda, such as the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of foreign exchange rates, and a trade surplus of $13.17 billion.
“These reforms have brought back investor confidence and helped to stabilize the economy,” Otu said.
He also commended the federal government’s initiatives aimed at supporting citizens, highlighting the student loan scheme, access to consumer credit, the removal of tariffs on essential goods, and various agricultural support programs.
“Our focus on infrastructure, economic growth, and social welfare is well poised,” he said. “Our delivery strides in various sectors are gallant and sustainable.”
Governor Otu emphasized that strong and consistent leadership is key to progress.
“Nothing attracts greatness to a personality like the consistency of character and excellency of courage in the face of daunting demands,” he said.
He advised party members not to disrupt what he called a working formula.
“It is a great error to change a working formula, a productive philosophy or an efficient workman,” the governor warned.
He ended his remarks with a blessing. “God bless the South-South APC! God bless the APC! God bless Nigeria!”
