Dear Cross Riverians,

Today, we celebrate Democracy Day—a day that marks the triumph of our collective will for freedom, justice, and good governance. It is a moment to reflect on the progress we have made as a state and as a nation, while also recognising the challenges that lie ahead.

As members of the Cross River diaspora, your contributions play a vital role in shaping our democracy. Your voices, investments, and engagement are crucial in fostering development and promoting positive change within our communities back home. Together, we can build a brighter future for Cross River State, rooted in the principles of democracy.

Let us honour the sacrifices of those who fought for our rights and freedoms by actively participating in the democratic process. Whether through voting, advocacy, or community engagement, your involvement matters.

On this special day, let us reaffirm our commitment to democracy, unity, and progress. Together, we can ensure that the dreams of our forebears live on, and that we continue to strive for a prosperous Cross River State for generations to come.

Happy Democracy Day!

Warm regards,

Hon. Otu Eso Okor
Chairman
