Cross River PDP Chairman Vows to Unseat Governor, Faces Internal Criticism

Venatius Ikem, the Cross River State chairman of the PDP, vows to unseat Governor Otu and regain power from the ruling APC in 2027. Despite internal conflicts and past electoral challenges, Ikem secured votes at the party congress in Calabar.

While some critics raised concerns about his leadership style, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe urged party members to unite for the upcoming elections. Ikem emphasized continuity and stability, backed by the state caucus.

However, some stakeholders cautioned against his alleged dictatorial tendencies and poor electoral performance.
