The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has advised Cross River Governor, Prince Bassey Otu to realise that he has been sworn-in and has to serve as governor of the state and not of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This was contained in IPAC’s congratulatory message signed by its chairman, Anthony Bissong Attah.
It reminded him that he contested the governorship election alongside other well meaning sons of the state who were equally well qualified.

“Your emergence as governor should therefore be seen as an opportunity to pilot the affairs of the state with humility and the fear of God.
“It is noteworthy to state that having been sworn in, you are now the governor of Cross River State and not just APC.
“Your campaign slogan of putting The People First is one which encapsulates the whole yearnings of the masses and we expect that you will hit the ground running as you face this daunting task of restoring the lost glory of our dear state.
“As very critical stakeholders who are doggedly committed to the welfare and overall good of Cross Riverians, we have elected to immediately commence our constitutional role of advising you on sensitive matters regarding statecraft and good governance,” he said.
