Youth leaders in the Central Senatorial District of Cross Rivers State have commended Governor Bassey Edet Otu for his strides in infrastructure development across the Senatorial District.
The commendation came as the youth leaders passed a vote of no confidence on the Senator representing the district, Eteng Williams, for what they called ‘poor performance and lack of effective representation.”
Speaking during the youth leaders and stakeholders meeting held at the weekend, Mbeh Sagas Etta, the Community Relations Officer (Ikom 1 Constituency) to the Governor, while commending the Otu for his strides in infrastructure development, including road construction and hospital rehabilitation across the Senatorial District, appealed to the governor to allow the people of the district to democratically select a more competent representative ahead of the 2027 elections.
He spoke on the background of the motion moved by the Youth Chairman of Yakurr Local Council, Obuli Arikpo, for a vote of ‘No Confidence’ on Williams.
Arikpo accused the Senator of neglecting the developmental needs of the district.
The motion was seconded and adopted by the Youth Chairman of Etung Council, Odu John, who echoed the sentiment.
