“The youths will get jobs, and we will also turn the water surroundings into a great fortune,” he said.
He alleged that the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had created a great setback for the country, adding that the government of PDP privatised the nation’s asset to private pockets.
“If PDP had arrested their 16 years corruption plan, we won’t be where we are today as a country.
“I urge the good people of Cross River to vote for me and all the APC candidates in the state during the poll,” he said.
Speaking earlier, Gov. Ben Ayade, solicited for the completion of the Bakassi deep seaport and the super highway projects initiated by his administration.
