University don, serial social and political commentator, Dorncklaimz Enamhe, has ticked Cross River State governor, Bassey Otu, correct on his recent parley with all National Assembly members of Cross River State origin, irrespective of political party.
Enamhe, who spoke exclusively with our reporter said, “when you consider the self centered and myopic politics we witnessed in this state not too long ago, it is soul lifting to see Otu clearly demonstrate with this parley that working with all members of the National Assembly is an enterprise that will benefit our state. Wasn’t it unthinkable to see someone like Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe in the same picture with Ayade in Peregrino House? Sincerely, tere is now a greater sense of belonging among these representatives in Abuja because of this well thought out engagement approach and our governor must not just stop there, he must put them to positive task, to identify what we can get from the centre and conclusively pursue same.”
“Without doubt, Otu must be encouraged on this path because so much has passed our state while personal and government funds as well as energy, were wrongly deployed in political disagreements that polarized us.”
On efforts made by the governor to woo investors to the CRS, Enamhe commended efforts that birthed the recent business round table conference in Abuja, adding that engagements like this show that the governor has a business development plan for the state.
Commenting on the recent impasse in the Cross River State House of Assembly, Enamhe commended the role Otu played in steming the rancorous situation but warned that principal actors in that conflict must understand that they didn’t vote themselves into office but carry the people’s mandate and must at all times tailor their attitudes in line with the positive expectations of the people.
Congratulating the governor on his first year, Enamhe, the brain behind the “Think Cross River” mantra, wished the governor well and further asked him to deliberately embrace actions that will promote good governance, sustain governance efforts and improve the welfare of average Cross Riverians, currently under economic siege.
