Cross River State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has adopted the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Brian Odey, for Yala 1 state constituency in the state House of Assembly election.

In his remarks, the Labour Party Yala one state constituency candidate, Brian Odey, expressed happiness over the endorsement of his candidacy pledging to deliver the constituency to APC.
“I’m very happy for a national party like the APC. Who am I not to be excited? It’s not a bad thing for a helper to endorse me,” Odey maintained.
On the issue of security for Saturday’s election, the leadership of APC, called on the military high command in Abuja not to militarise the governorship election.
