Emmanuel Alfred
Rt. Hon. Ntufam Eta Mbora, member representing Calabar Municipality/Odukpani Federal Constituency has been adopted by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Stakeholders in Calabar Municipality ahead of the National Assembly primaries in Cross River State.
The Stakeholders comprising Members of the State Working Committee (SWC), from Municipality, a serving State Lawmaker, Chapter and Ward EXCO Members, Former Council Chairmen and Lawmakers and other Party Chieftains urged their House of Representatives member to take another mandate in order to consolidate on his impressive performance.
Speaking at a Stakeholders’ meeting convened to appraise the tenure of the Federal House of Representatives Member and discuss the way forward for the development of the Federal Constituency, the Stakeholders across the 10 Wards of Calabar Municipality paid glowing tributes to Rt. Hon. Mbora for his effective representation since he mounted the saddle.
In his opening remark, the PDP Chapter Chairman, Calabar Municipality, Dr Otop Oqua, commended him for his quality leadership which has sustained the party during the trying times.
Ntufam Inok Edim, a stalwart of the PDP described as massive and unprecedented the myriads of projects facilitated by the House of Representatives member since the return of democratic rule in 1999.
He said projects like provision of electricity transformers, pipe-borne water, building of additional classroom blocks at Primary Schools, construction of health centres, roads networks, award of scholarships to students, provision of fertilisers and farming inputs to farmers have shown his competence and exceptional leadership.
In a motion urging Ntufam Eta Mbora to seek re-election, a former Secretary of Calabar Municipal Council and Member of the Cross River Rural Development Agency, Mr Asuquo Solomon, implored the stakeholders to prevail on Ntufam Eta Mbora to contest the 2023 election to represent the Constituency at the Green Chambers due to his enormous contributions to the socio-economic development of the area.
Supporting the motion, a former Member of the State House of Assembly and Executive Member of the immediate past State Caretaker Working Committee of the PDP, Christopher Ekpo Esq., said the decision was imperative to sustain the development enjoyed by the people, courtesy of Ntufam Eta Mbora.
The motion was unanimously adopted by the stakeholders through an overwhelming voice vote with a pledge of unalloyed loyalty to the PDP.
