A political group, Reclaim Cross River (RCR) has declared readiness to work for the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his vice, Ifeanyi Okowa to ensure they win the 2023 election.
The group said the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River State was dead, adding that the hope that the Cross River State governor, Ben Ayade’s defection to the party would translate into electoral victory for the party remain a big illusion.
RCR founder, John George in a statement noted that PDP will be in the forefront to elect governor, senators, house of representatives and state assembly members in the state come 2023 general election.
He expressed the hope that PDP will sweep the polls from the presidency to state assembly elections in Cross River, adding that APC was no longer a factor in the electoral map of the state.
He said, “Our mission is to reclaim and rescue Cross River with a solid grassroots structure spanning all the polling units where we have coordinators up to the state level, the Reclaim Cross River campaign is spreading like wild fire, It is this momentum… that will propel PDP to victory come 2023.
“Ordinarily, we wouldn’t bother to campaign for PDP in the state since the staggering failure of the APC has clearly shown the people that the PDP, which performed excellently under Duke and Imoke is the only viable alternative but we are not leaving anything to chance.”
