Forum Challenges Akpabio on Cross River's Atlantic Status
The president of a group, referred to as the Forum, has publicly countered statements made by Akpabio regarding Cross River's status on the Atlantic map. The Forum asserts that no court has made a ruling to remove Cross River from this geographical designation.
Furthermore, they highlighted that scientific assessments related to the Bakassi Deep Seaport have revealed the presence of oil wellheads within the coastal boundaries of Cross River. This assertion aims to reinforce the state's strategic importance in terms of oil and gas resources, particularly in relation to the Bakassi Deep Seaport project.
