Prominent cross river state political fold have been call upon to shield there sword as politics with out bitterness is the best Comrade Savior Asuqo has said 

Addressing the political atmosphere in coss river state he wonder how some politicians in tje oppositions are unable to score the governor Bassey Otu administration high because of what he described unconstructive critism 

 

 Saviour Asuquo Special Assistant to the Governor on Content Development, observed that the trend of views according to him there 

“ is a growing view in Cross River State that much of the criticism directed at Governor Bassey Otu is not about governance, but about access.’

 

 Comrade Asuquo said ‘According to political observers: "People don't criticize Governor Bassey Otu because he isn't doing well. They criticize him to get his attention for a political appointment."

 

Further mentioned that the comment reflects a common sentiment that, for some critics, public condemnation has become a strategy to be noticed by the administration. Rather than an indictment of performance, the attacks are seen as a way to lobby for recognition, patronage, or a seat at the table.

 

Supporters of the governor argue that despite the noise, the government is focused on delivering on its "People First" agenda. They say those genuinely interested in service should engage through the proper channels instead of resorting to media attacks.

 

As the administration settles into its second half, the debate raises questions about how appointments are made and how citizens can engage government constructively, without the politics of noise.

 

He urged Cross Riverians, let us come together and work for a better Cross River State. Governor Bassey Otu till 2031
