Dr. Bonse, in his New Year message to Cross River people, reminded them that the coming elections would define the state’s socio-economic future and that he was in the race to bring to bear his experience in financial management to help restore the lost glory of the State.
“The critical relevance of the coming elections can, therefore, not be over-emphasized as our individual and collective decisions will determine whether or not we remain in this current quagmire where a potentially super-rich State wallows in chronic and abject poverty, while those we gave the mandate to provide the primary responsibility of Government to the people squander our collective wealth and live in opulence at the expense of the people’s wellbeing.
