In a major political development ahead of the 2027 general elections, leaders of all former opposition political parties in Cross River State have formally endorsed Governor Bassey Otu for a second term in office.

The gathering has drawn prominent figures from both former and current opposition camps, signaling a significant realignment in the state’s political landscape.
According to sources present at the meeting, the unanimous support for Governor Otu stems from a shared appreciation for his leadership style, which they say has brought stability, infrastructural development, and increased political inclusiveness to the state. Several party leaders reportedly praised his efforts to bridge political divides and focus on governance over partisanship.
Governor Otu, elected in 2023 under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has not yet officially declared his bid for re-election. However, the endorsement from opposition figures could serve as a powerful boost, positioning him as a unifying figure ahead of the next electoral cycle.
