Describing the adoption and endorsement of Sen. Onor as a collective decision, the Christian body said it was done after a thorough and unbiased opinion Poll conducted by the body statewide, in a bit to push forward the interest of the generality of Cross River citizens.
“As a fellowship, we decided that we are going to follow the guidelines of character, competence capacity and policies of Candidates.
“We invited all the Gubernatorial Candidates from the three key Political Parties in the State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All Progressive Congress (APC) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
“We consulted all the Local Government Areas(LGAs) presenting the three candidates, and the PDP candidate still won. In all 429 members, 250 voted for Senator Sandy Onor of PDP, 114, voted for Prince Bassey Otu of APC, while, 47 support Pastor Usani Uguru Usani of the PRP, and 8 votes were voided.”
Presenting the Polls result, the State PFN Chairman Dr. Laurence Ekwok, said that “we are committed to working for the emergence of Sandy Onor, as the Governor of Cross River state, that is our position.”
