The Cross River State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled its 2023 Campaign Council.
This was disclosed by the State Chairman of the party, Alphonsus Eba, in Calabar.
He said the Campaign Council will be headed by former Nigeria’s ambassador to Mali, Chief Sonni Abang, and its slogan will be “Sweep It Clean”.
He said Chief Abang will be assisted by three deputy director generals – Stephen Odey ( North), Chief Chris Obasse (Central) and Chief Ofu Aya (South).
Giving more details about the campaign council, he said the State Campaign Council will have 2,500 members while the Local Government Campaign Council will have 52,000 members with 27 directorates.
He added that the Campaign Council targets 500,000 votes which will represent about 80 per cent of the expected voters.
He thanked the party’s presidential candidate, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, for helping to bring peace to the Cross River State chapter of the party and also Senator John Owan Enoh for withdrawing his case against the party.
He said the magic the party has performed in the state will endear it to voters particularly the achievements of Governor Ben Ayade.
“Cross Riverians know who the APC is and what we have done, particularly the magic of hitting the rock for water to come out in building over 30 factories when N403 billion debt was handed over to governor Ayade,” he said.
He added that the party has already won the elections ahead of time.
He also disclosed that the party leadership is taking the elections to Jerusalem for prayers.
Six spokesmen were also announced to assist the council, including Ernest Irek, Obono Obla, Patrick Ogar, Ernest Irek, Cletus Obin and Maurice Inok.
