The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross Rivers State has ruled out automatic tickets for serving members of the National Assembly and state lawmakers in the 2027 general elections.
The party, however, granted automatic tickets to Governor Bassey Otu and his deputy, Dr. Peter Odey.
The decision was taken at the party’s State Executive Council (SEC) meeting held on Tuesday in Calabar.
At the meeting presided over by its Chairman in the state, Alphonsus Ogar, the party commended the governor’s development strides.
The members also praised the National Assembly members for their bold and courageous support for President Bola Tinubu, on the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
In his remark, Ogar expressed the party’s readiness for the 2027 general elections in Cross River.
He urged all elected representatives from councilors to senators, including aspirants of subsequent elections to return to their constituents to seek their blessings and support.
“This is because there is no automatic ticket for anyone except the governor and his deputy,” the chairman stated.
