Exactly three years ago today, His Excellency stood before our people who had gathered from across the State and committed himself to the opportunities of serving our people, the people of Cross River State. And inspite of the daunting challenges, tolled night and day to serve our people, to improve quality of lives of our people and to give back to humanity.

I commend His Excellency's efforts in protecting democratic norms and values of our people this past three years in office.
