By Eriacy Confidence
Why Central Cross River Stands With Senator Williams, A Legacy of Service, Not Flamboyance: Barr Nkanu Eja. Senator Eteng Jones Williams in less than two years as a Senator has done tremendously well. Let's not forget that he battles litigations and was never allowed to carry out his legislative duties as at when due. Senator Williams has proven without doubts as a representative of his people. He has extended assistance and aids to both the young and old, comprising of the sick and healthy and has given scholarships to our people in the Central Senatorial Zone of Cross River State. Peanuts offerings and flamboyant lifestyles isn't his thing. With the humility so far shown by Senator Williams, we the people of Central Cross River State should stand by him and give him our prayers and supports to deliver more beyond 2027.
