Arise Cross River… Don’t Ignore This!

Posted on October 12, 2015 By Admin 1 Comment on Arise Cross River… Don’t Ignore This!

Copy of NEW LOGO OF CRSHello Good People of Cross River State,
This is Cross River; indeed the place where the youthful energies of the likes of Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba at age 27, that of the irrepressible Donald Duke, below 30 of age, just to mention a few; were favourably harnessed for the good of our collective development. Indeed it was not a stroll in the park for them, but they had respective points to prove that the way forward was and still is to make space for the forward driven youth, who seamlessly demonstrates capacity.

Thank you Governor Ben Ayade, we must say, for electing to come clean from that painful political process in the very near past which tended to recognize more, the whit-lowed contributions of shrunken sit-tight stakeholders with no stake in the Cross River commonwealth. We must begin to point our way out of that kind of entrapment that maligns the wishes of the people and goes on celebrate instead the mediocrity of individuals in positions.

If we have not introduced ourselves, bear with us for now and work with the #YouthDecide Project. It is deliberate so that those whose duty it is to blindfold the people and then walk them into a cave of stinging ants will begin to give way, realizing that the people have chosen to make informed choices. Unarguably, we give backing to Gov. Ben Ayade’s appointments (so far made) and remain convinced that as we take on the onerous and meticulous task of profiling a rich retinue of young and capacity-driven Cross Riverians, WE will all see REASON and embrace this philosophy of letting well equipped Cross Riverians come in and help get the job done.

WE begin with ASUQUO EKPENYONG Jnr, a bright under-40, whose resume, we just received.
