Our values have been debased, our people are suffering, structures have dismantle, Civil Service have been denied the opportunity to function fully. The Government have been personalized.

Why some people are talking of back to south we are talking of back to Us* Back to Cross River, we must liberate ourself and get back on track and make cross River better again. From south to North our people are one.
Thus, the urgent need to reclaim it and this is one sure way of doing it. I am optimistic that God is with us in this project and with him nothing is impossible.
