Forty-eight hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared   All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate Senator Bassey Edet Otu as governor-elect of Cross River State, a chieftain of APC, High Chief Higgins Peters has expressed surprise over the votes recorded by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Prof Sandy Onor.

Higgins expressed the shock while reacting to the outcome of just concluded governorship election in Cross River State where PDP candidate Sen. Sandy Ojang Onor scored 179,636 votes even when he suffered defeat to his APC rival who scored 258, 619 votes.

While expressing shock on Sandy’s scores yesterday in an interactive session with journalists, Peters stressed  that never in his wildest imagination had he thought that the candidate of the PDP whom he thought acted like an interloper would  score beyond 20,000.

“I was very definite because Sandy Onor was actually swimming against the tide. I was so surprised that he had more than 100,000 plus votes.

“I will congratulate him for that effort because I don’t know that Sandy was going to have even up to 20,000 votes, because of the sentiments in the state. The reason is because we have a seamless transition of rotation from South, Central, North and back to South again.
