IMMEDIATE past Chief of Staff to Governor Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, Dr. Alex Ebgona, has promised to effect positive changes in Abi/Yakurr Federal Constituency if elected into the House of Representatives.

Ebgona, in an interview, said although past and present representatives of the constituency had done their best, having worked with and learnt from Imoke for close to eight years, he was well armed to serve with humility and take advantage of opportunities to turn things around.

He said he acquired a lot of experience as a former councillor, aide to the former governor, Donald Duke, deputy chief of staff and later the chief of staff and was ready to continue with his empowerment projects if elected.

He said: “Abi/Yakurr people should be looking forward to a very vibrant representation and I have told them that I have a target of 36-48 months to make a difference and if I don’t, I will not be asking for another mandate.”

He also said he would work very closely with the present member of the House representing the area. “My relationship with Hon. Bassey Ewa is very cordial because I was the person who moved the motion that made him to go to the House of Representatives. I will tap from his knowledge and experience. Incidentally, he has experience in the legislature too; he has been in the state House of Assembly as the Speaker before moving to the House of Representatives,” he added.
