Senator Sandy Onor, PDP governorship candidate in Cross River has accused APC of planning to use violence to disrupt the February 25 and March 11 elections.

Mr Onor stated this on Thursday during a meeting with traditional rulers in Etung council area when his campaign team berthed at Bendeghe Ekiem near Ikom.

He said while PDP was on the field selling their manifesto to the people, the ruling party was hatching plans to rig the polls by causing mayhem across PDP stronghold.

The PDP governorship candidate, who presently represents Cross River Central senatorial district in the Senate, said he possessed the necessary experience needed to enthrone good governance in the state.

He urged the rulers to reject the APC and cast their votes for him and other PDP candidates.

“I did a lot of projects as chairman of Etung local government area and as senator of the federal republic. PDP is campaigning and APC is quietly plotting how to cause violence and rig the election,” stated Mr Onor. “Come March 11, 2023, the chiefs should go out and vote for me because when I become governor, I will make a difference for the people.”

Ex-Governor Donald Duke, who was in the PDP team, said Mr Onor was the only person that could restore hope to the alleged hopeless situation that the APC had placed the people.

Meanwhile, APC has described the PDP allegation as baseless.

Its spokesman in the state, Erasmus Ekpang, said APC had been on the field campaign evening as it will officially flag off the campaign on Saturday.
