This was made known in a congratulatory message to the Senator–elect by the Chairman of APC Lobby Group, Cross River State, Oden Ewa, noting that it is a victory that would propel the people, particularly the younger generation, to aspire for lofty heights and work their dreams knowing that nothing is impossible when committed to it.

‘‘Indeed, nothing can break the collective resolve of a determined people,’’ said Ewa, noting further that, ‘‘your victory at the polls was a poignant manifestation of the people’s faith in you, particularly the young generation, who saw a greater prospect in your candidature and capacity to offer quality representation.

‘‘Today, you personify the bow needed to realise the wishes and aspirations of the people of Cross River South at the Senate. We have no iota of doubt that Cross River South is in safe and able hands.

‘‘We are proud to be associated with you and other APC candidates who emerged victorious in last Saturday’s election.’’

‘‘Let your spirits remain unbroken; your collective resolve in pursuit of equity (Back to South) unmitigated as we march towards the gubernatorial and Assembly elections with greater expectations. Let’s finish the work. We will win again,’’ he charged the people.
