Bassey Otu Advances Cross River's Development for Re-election

Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River is preparing for a second term as the election cycle approaches. His administration is characterized by a Philosophy of Continuity, avoiding blame on predecessors and focusing on progress.

Otu aims to transform Cross River into a self-sustaining hub, reducing reliance on monthly FAAC allocations, a goal he claims to have achieved in his first term. Notably, he has advanced the Bakassi Deep Seaport project through a public-private partnership with Afrexim Bank, securing financing at no cost to the state.

Additionally, Otu has made significant progress on the Obudu Cargo Airport, with over 80% of the work reportedly completed. His administration has been marked by relative peace and collaboration with past governors, contributing to a stable political environment in the state.
