Peoples Democratic party members in cross river state have been urged to contenue to remain calm ,steadfast and remain one umbraller as the Collapse Of Rainbow Coalition In cross river the call was made by the Tanimu Turaki PDP led faction in cross river Julius Udayi 

 

He said “As the the I call on all faithful members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 

Cross River State to remain calm, steadfast, and united as we watch the

ill-fated so called “Rainbow Coalition” fade away in Cross River State

with their perpetrators.”

 

He said “Just recently you all heard that Mr. Venatius Ikem Esq. who was imposed

by the Wike’s faction as a factional Chairman of the PDP in Cross River

State, who previously had an assignment to project and deliver certain 

candidates of the rainbow Coalition in line with Governor Wike political 

theory, has resigned his membership of the party and in turn repented of

this ill-fated assignment.”

 

Julius Udayi assured that “We of the Turaki led executive candidates are not surprised at this

positive development because we saw it coming when time is given a

chance. The resignation of Mr. Ikem is not unconnected with the expected

outcome of the awaited Court Judgment pending and loading to be

delivered soon from the Nigerian Court of Appeal. We are gladdened” he stated 

 

Reasoned that “because the “chaff will soon be separated from the weeds” so we can 

focus and work towards winning the 2027 general elections in the state.”

 

 

He appeal to party members “our party and the general public in Cross River State that all

the candidates that were sponsored by the Turaki led Care Taker

committee of our great party are the Authentic Candidates of PDP in cross river state . “

 

Noted that “We know that very soon, those who were in doubt shall

have no excuse in believing us when the judgment is finally delivered.the governortorial aspirant” said 

Let us once again reiterate that I, Mr. Julius Udayi and Mr Ebri Inah and

all other candidates that were nominated by the Turaki Led executive are

the authentic flag bearers of our great party in Cross River State without

more.

The end time for the rainbow coalition candidates that were being

paraded by the said Barr Ikem is becoming eminently clear.

Mr. Vena Ikem himself as an experienced lawyer throwing in the towel at

this time is itself an indication of the end of Wike’s political ploy in Cross

River State.”( Indeed, we must salute and commend Mr. Ikem for the spirit

of sportsmanship in him. This is nothing but a clear sign of repentance

and hunger for righteousness on Mr. Ikem’s part. We see that he is tired

of being used by his paymasters and for this, we wish him well in his

future career and further pursuits.”

 

Added that “We will continue to urge our members to remain hopeful, law-abiding,

and committed to the ideals of our great party.

As a gubernatorial candidate of the authentic PDP faction loyal to Senator

Tanimu Turaki, SAN, I remain confident that the days ahead hold great

promises for our party. I believe that, with unity, patience, and collective

resolve, the “Egyptians” we see parading themselves as Candidates of

our party today, will fade away with their rainbow coalition tendencies

soonest.”

 

Also said “I can assure you all that these seeming challenges will bind us even more

unified and stronger as a party when the judgement shall be delivered in 

days to come. Let’s remain prayerful as always and focus in our

preparations towards the 2027 general elections in Cross River State.”

 

Esplained his vision remains to harness the vast human and natural resources of

Cross River State to promote self-sufficiency, inclusive development, and

a better future for our people. Together, we can build a stronger PDP and

a prosperous Cross River State.
