The Governor reassured the people of Cross River that his administration prioritizes the welfare of its citizens and is committed to addressing issues such as the backlog of unpaid gratuity for retirees.

He urged Cross Riverians to remain supportive of his administration, pray for their leaders, and continue to have faith in the progress of the state.

In a sermon titled “Cross River shall prosper again,”Pastor Ekpe Offiong emphasized that prosperity will come to the state if its leaders act justly and truthfully before God.

The clergyman commended the ‘People First’ approach of the Otu-led administration, which focuses on meeting the needs and aspirations of the masses, and encouraged the governor to maintain this commitment to delivering democratic dividends to the people.

Government officials, elder statesman, political figures, traditional leaders, security agency heads, and other dignitaries attended the event, where readings from the Bible were shared by Deputy Governor Rt Hon Peter Odey and Speaker of the State House of Assembly Rt Hon Elvert Ayambem.
