Election Tribunal: Etaba Dedicates Victory To God, Constituents

The Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Calabar, on Tuesday, Sept 12th, 2023 ruled in favor of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and its candidate, RT. Hon Mike Etaba, in the Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency election dispute. 

In a statement released by Etaba, the three-term member dedicated his victory to God and the people of his constituency. He commended the judiciary for their tireless effort and careful supervision in ensuring that justice was delivered without prejudice.

Etaba expressed his gratitude to former Governor of Cross River State, Sen. (Prof) Ben Ayade, incumbent Governor Sen. (Prince) Bassey Edet Otu, and the entire people of Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency for their unwavering support in the election. He praised them for showing faith in his party and inspiring tremendous, robust, and admirable development in the area.

"I am filled with gratitude to God for the just and fair decision made by the Election Petition Tribunal, which ruled in our favor today at the High Court complex, Mary Slessor Road, Calabar.  I want to specially thank God for this victory as well as commend the judiciary for their tireless effort, patience, and careful supervision of this matter to ensure that justice was delivered to us without prejudice.

Today's victory would not have been possible without the unwavering support of former governor of our beloved state, H.E. Sen. (Prof) Ben Ayade, the incumbent governor, H.E. Sen. (Prince) Bassey Edet Otu, and of course, the good people of Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency who found me and our party, the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), worthy of their support, and for overwhelmingly voting for us in the election. I appreciate each and every one of you for showing faith and unwavering support to this crusade for true representation, inspiring tremendous, robust, and admirable development in Obubra/Etung Federal Constituency."

The victory is a significant achievement for the APC, the federal constituency, and the state. The ruling party will likely use this win to solidify its position and garner more support in future elections.
