Secondus Gets Kudos Over Automatic Tickets For NASS Members

There was relief among supporters of Governor Ben Ayade and members of the National Assembly in Cross River State, at the weekend, when news of automatic tickets for incumbents by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) announced by National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus broke in the state.
The automatic tickets reduced the tension building among party members who were gearing up for primary elections among the number of contenders gunning for governorship, House of Representatives and Senatorial tickets on the party’s platform in the state.
Crowds gathered at the campaign offices of the various National Assembly members across the state and the governor’s support groups to celebrate what they termed ‘victory’ for peace and unity in their party.
“This is the winning team that would give PDP complete victory in state, National Assembly, gubernatorial and presidential elections in Cross River”, one of the jubilant supporters, Chief Thomas Oku, said.
Another supporter and a lawyer, Evelyn Emmanuel said the automatic tickets would reduce intra-party squabbling among party members and unite them to face the opposition in 2019.
