Onor: Cross River Needs Ndoma-Egba More than Ever

A former Deputy National Chairman of the Association of Local Government Nigeria (ALGON) Ntufam Sandy Onor, has stated that Cross River State needs the services of the Senate Leader Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, the National Assembly in 2015 more than the pre-2011 election era.

Onor, who is currently the director-general of the governorship election campaign team of Godwin Jedy-Agba, said this in the state at the weekend when he addressed women in the state central senatorial district who staged a rally to declare their support for Ndoma-Egba.

Going down memory lane, Onor said: “When I told the leadership of the state that I wanted to go to the senate in 2011, I was told Ndoma-Egba is brilliant and he is doing very every well.
“The senate leader had done a second term and he is a ranking senator who deserves to go back because the privileges he will harvest will be far more than a greenhorn in the senate.
“I had told the leadership prophetically at the time that this logic you had thrown at me will grow in strength, the Ndoma-Egba would be doing his third term. But, because they had other calculations and because God is God, they chose to do it differently.” Ndoma-Egba is the leader of senate and today he is the only Cross Riverian in the PDP caucus at the national level, and a paragon of excellence on the floor of the senate.

He is performing profoundly outside of the senate. If you look at us, you will know it is good to follow Ndoma-Egba.
“Now they are telling us that at this point, Ndoma- Egba should drop and we say, No!”
Onor also spoke about Ndoma-Egba’s current status saying: “When we represented you before a committee in Abuja two weeks ago, I told them that if yesterday senator Ndoma-Egba was a ranking senator, today he is higher because of the level of leadership he operating in the senate.

“Nobody will put the senator down, because the bible says ‘you cannot have a light and you decide to put it under the bed. God has raised him for the now and has propelled him to this height, we need him in this state now more than ever.”
Also speaking at the gathering, the Director-General of the Victor Ndoma-Egba Campaign Organisation, Hon. Ernest Irek, said: “This is a sensitisation rally by women of the district. It is also an endorsement rally, the one that the people can choose people who will represent them when we start voting after we win the delegate election in November I.
“It has been a wonderful success as our campaign has started in full gear.”

Irek warned that delegates to the primary elections of the party would be elected and not imposed by the party caucus.
“I want to warn the PDP leadership in the state to be more circumspect on how they conduct the election, otherwise that may be the beginning of the end for them. This is not a threat, but they should make sure that they are transparent.
“The party belongs to all of us. What we want them to do is that when they come with a team from Abuja, they should make sure that it is properly done.”
