Members of the Cross River State PDP caucus of the National Assembly have stated that all defectors to APC would be brought back after the congress.
Addressing delegates at the State congress held at Event Centre located at Parliamentary Extension Calabar on Saturday, the NASS members said Cross River had always been a PDP state until State Governor, Ben Ayade defected to APC on Thursday, May 20.
They however vowed that the party would recover the governorship in 2023.
Senator Gershom Bassey, representing the South Senatorial district, said they are strategising towards 2023 and are optimistic the PDP would win back the State.
‘’2023 is a PDP year and they are working towards clinching all the seats from Abuja to ward levels. Nigerians are tired of APC and are determined to vote them out.
‘’For Cross River here, it has always been a PDP state and we are positioned to retain it in 2023,” he said.
Commending the party members for their resilience and commitment to PDP, Sentor Sandi Onor, representing Central Senatorial district, said;
‘‘By the time we are done with the state congress, more confusion would visit the government of Cross River State and APC because we know that those who defected went nowhere.”
