Former Senate Leader and Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, has clinched the ticket of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), to run for the seat of the Central Senatorial District of Cross River State in the 2019 general elections.
He scored 50,729 votes to beat Prof .Oka Martins, who came second with 19, 349 votes.
Other contestants were Obol Anderson Rickets and Henry Ayuk who scored 302 and 252 votes respectively.
Senator Ndoma-Egba said while reacting to his victory, “I thank God for the second chance to represent my people. I still believe that the highest honour any people can give to anybody is to ask that the person represents them especially in an elective capacity. For me it is an honour to once again represent my people and it is a challenge for me to even do better than I had done in the past”.
“I will do it with more energy, urgency and more zeal. You recall that I have a number of bills that were not passed into law and I will pursue them to their logical end. I will complete all uncompleted projects like the Iruan Dan, the Ikom specialist hospitals and others. I will like to see to the conclusion of those projects, so my priority will be finishing every unfinished business.”
Also another former Senator, Prince Bassey Otu also clinched the party’s ticket for the Southern Senatorial district, while Wabily Nyiam emerged the Senatorial candidate for the Northern Senatorial District.
