Kwashiorkor Politicians In ADC, PDP Can’t Take Us Back To Egypt– Governor Otu
Cross River State Governor, Senator Bassey Otu, has taken a swipe at opposition parties, dismissing the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a gathering of “kwashiorkor politicians” whose only mission is to distract the people from real progress.
Speaking in Calabar on Tuesday, while receiving the endorsement of former Bakassi Defence Force members who pledged their support for his 2027 re-election bid, Otu minced no words.
“We have heard that some kwashiorkor persons are making moves to take over power under the name ADC. They are nothing more than detractors and a distraction. They cannot take us back to Egypt,” he declared.
The governor also came hard on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), describing it as another “sickly group” incapable of returning Nigeria to what he called the “dark days.”
“As one who has once been in opposition, I know a band of detractors when I see them. They are the same people who plunged Nigerians into hardship. They won’t succeed,” Otu said.
Reassuring his commitment to democratic values, the governor stressed that his administration would never gag the opposition.
“We are in a democracy, and we won’t stop anyone from exercising their rights to speak, associate, or regroup for political purposes,” he maintained.
