WARD 9 DECLARES TOTAL SUPPORT FOR TINUBU AS OROK DUKE RALLIES APC FAITHFUL IN CALABAR SOUTH

 




In a resounding display of loyalty, unity, and grassroots political strength, Ward 9 in Calabar South Local Government Area erupted with enthusiasm as APC faithful gathered to affirm President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition through overwhelming voice votes during the party’s presidential affirmation exercise.

The high-profile political gathering reached a fever pitch with the arrival of Rt. Hon. Orok Duke, fondly known as Otu-Ekong, whose presence energized party supporters and reinforced confidence ahead of the 2027 political journey. Addressing the jubilant crowd, the Federal Commissioner passionately canvassed support for the continuity of President Tinubu’s administration, emphasizing that another term for the President would unlock greater opportunities and accelerated development for Cross River State.

Rt. Hon. Orok Duke noted that with President Tinubu at the helm, Governor of Cross River State, Apostle Sen. Prince Bassey Edet Otu, would continue to enjoy increased federal collaboration and support capable of attracting more developmental projects, empowerment initiatives, strategic appointments, and meaningful democratic dividends for the people of the state.

He further applauded the exceptional unity, organization, and political maturity demonstrated by Ward 9 under the leadership of Mr. Bassey Okpo-Ene. Describing the ward as a model of loyalty and teamwork within the APC family, he expressed confidence that the ward’s impressive support base and strong political structure would contribute significantly to future electoral victories for the party.

Known for his deep grassroots connection and understanding of the political landscape, Rt. Hon. Orok Duke went beyond appreciating the ward collectively by recognizing individuals and groups across various categories, extending personal gestures that drew excitement and appreciation from party members.

Responding on behalf of the ward, the Chairman of Ward 9, Mr. Bassey Okpo-Ene, expressed profound gratitude to the Federal Commissioner for his unwavering support, accessibility, and people-oriented leadership. He prayed for God’s continued blessings upon Rt. Hon. Orok Duke, asking for greater wisdom, strength, good health, and resources to sustain his service to humanity and the APC family.

As the event climaxed, Ward 9 transformed into a carnival of celebration, solidarity, and political excitement. Victory songs filled the air as party faithful danced, cheered, and chanted in renewed hope and commitment to the APC vision in Cross River State and Nigeria.

The affirmation exercise stood not merely as a political gathering, but as a bold declaration that Ward 9 remains firmly united in support of continuity, progress, and the sustained advancement of the APC under President Bola Ahmed.
