Reacting to his victory, Ndoma-Egba said: “I still believe that the highest honour any group of people can give to anybody is to ask that the person represents them in an elective capacity. For me, it is an honour to once again represent my people and it is a challenge for me to even do better than I had done in the past.”
“I will do it with more energy, urgency and zeal. I have a number of bills that were not passed into law and I will pursue them to their logical end. I will complete all uncompleted projects like the Iruan Dan, the Ikom specialist hospitals and others. I will like to see to the conclusion of those projects, so my priority will be finishing every unfinished business.”
Also, Senator Bassey Otu clinched the party’s ticket for the southern senatorial district, while Wabily
Nyiam emerged the senatorial candidate in Cross River North Senatorial District.’’
