We are one people, One Cross River irrespective of our political persuations and I call on the government and the security agencies to immediately arrest this new and ugly trend in our state where opposition parties are habitually targeted and violently attacked.

I have just received news of a violent attack on the PDP Governorship candidate and his team on consultative engagements in Calabar today. This is abominable and against the tenets of democracy and we must condemn this act by those hell bent on perverting the democratic process.

We can not excuse a poor performance by the people we elect because their failure is our collective loss. In 2027 we must vote out poor performance and protect our votes. #A fresh start, one people one Cross River

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

Nigerian Soldiers begging Bello Turji to come out from his hideout and confront them instead of killing innocent civilians, since they were not giving the order to go after him 💔
