 THE CHOICE BEFORE CROSS RIVER PEOPLE IS A SIMPLE ONE  BY DOMINIC KIDZU  There is really no difficulty in making the supreme choice come 2023 for the people of Cross River State as it will be indeed for the people of Nigeria, because the issues are not complicated in the least, and the choices are etched in simple bold print. It will be the choice between crass failure, criminal negligence and pathological telling of lies to the people and a broad new canvass of opportunity to try someone new, someone vibrant and credible. It will be a choice between the impunity, the audacity and the recklessness of the current administration and the broad promise of a serious alternative that will be forthright and respect systems, conventions and propriety while working for the good of the people. It is going to be refreshing to listen to the Governor or his aides speak and to believe what one hears in a way that has been impossible for over seven years now.  As Senator Sandy Onoh...

  BY DOMINIC KIDZU  The taste of the pudding is quite truly in the eating, even as tall dreams and vaunting prophesies have come crashing down in the clash of God and Caeser. The APC with their strong CPC veterbrae has frankly not disappointed the knowing, because not a lot of people thought them any higher in ideology and purpose. They have only come through for what they always were - a gathering of Northern bigots and jihadists, with their Southern puppets in tow. The puppets have no idea where they are going to, they are only satisfied with a full belly and the promise of more dollar notes in the future. It doesn't matter to the puppets that they have become quislings, selling their tribes and tongues and faith for a mess of portage. They are satisfied with their temporary comforts, the very novelty of belonging and the illusion of grandeur. That is why they take pictures with the President, take pictures with his aeroplane, and some more pictures with his chairs and retur...

Deputy Governorship Position: Where Is Obubra Local Government Area About the choice of who becomes running mate to Sen. Prince Otu, the Governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress APC. It is important for the leader of our great party H.E Sir Benedict Ayade and other critical stakeholders to look beyond the Northern senatorial district. From all indications, it has become more like the deputy Governorship position is exclusively for the Northern Senatorial District.  The North is already too loaded with many positions, a sitting Governor, Minister, Subeb chairman, APC state party chairman with the Central Senatorial District left open. Our party needs Central Senatorial District majorly to win the governorship general elections.  As at today central is the strongest hold for our great party. In Central, amongst the six LGAs, Obubra is the strongest but has been so neglected even in constituting committees.  The history of APC in Cross River State can not be wr...
