A statement from supporters of Orim, today warned the winner of the APC ticket not to relinquish the ticket to anyone no matter how highly placed.

The statement reads:

SUPPORTERS OF CHIEF
MARTIN ORIM SAY NO TO ANY SUBSTITUTION FOR HIS 2023 SENATE CANDIDATURE.

All Support Groups for MARTIN ORIM CAMPAIGN ORGANIZATION ( AMOCO) Northern Senatorial District, wish to state very clearly that we strongly condemn as well as disassociate ourselves from any planned substitution of our original candidate’s name for anyone else.

We therefore wish to use this medium to call on Mr Orim, the APC senatorial candidate not to for any reasons, dare to mortgage the right of the people given to him on trust, the mandate given him by all men, women, youths in good faith to anyone.

If there’s such an arrangement, we your supporters say NO. If you relinquish your mandate/ticket to anyone under any pressure, no matter how highly placed, we shall ensure our votes, support, prayers goes to the opposition party come 2023.

This is NO threats!! We shall resist any attempt by anyone to exclude, replace, substitute, change our candidate, Hon Martin Orim, for any other name.

To this end, we wish to call on Chief Martin Orim, NOT TO sell our mandate. Our hope, support and trust is in Chief Martin Orim for Senate come 2023.

It will be recalled that CrossRiverWatch had reported that Governor Ayade is still mounting pressure on his immediate past Chief of Staff to step down in writing and hand over the Cross River Northern Senatorial ticket to him.

Governor Ayade bought both the APC Senate and Presidential nomination forms hoping that Orim was going to be a “place-holder” for him if he misses his party’s presidential nomination.
