In a related development, Mr. Eyo Ekpo, the gubernatorial candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has asked entertainers in the state and Cross Riverians alike to “call to mind those glory days” when the state “welcomed people from far and wide, taught them our customs, embraced them with our culture, fed them, gave them drink and boosted our economy as we did so, putting money in the hands of big and small businesses” but that has not been the case in the recent past.
Eyo Ekpo who posted this on his social media handles, charged entertainers to use “their craft as a tool to rebuild our state, to turn our fortunes around, to take our state back to the days of pride and prosperity.
