state, while maintaining the rotational zoning formula of the state which started in 1999.

The message which was signed by Duker and
circulated to the media on Tuesday in Calabar quotes as follows “I am excited with your success at the gubernatorial election held on Saturday, 18th March 2023 where you were overwhelmingly voted by the majority of Cross River indigenes.
“Otu’s victory is a testimony that ethnic, tribal, religious or sectional divides that were introduced by a few minorities to destroy the peaceful accommodating lifestyle of the average Cross Riverian has no place in our state.” Duker added.
He further emphasized that the election has finally put to an end the politics of ethnic and religious bigotry that characterized the last election.
In conclusion, he advised the Governor-Elect to be magnanimous in victory as he consolidates in building a cross river that every indigene will be proud of considering that expectations are very high amongst citizens of the state.
