As the race for who takes over from the incumbent Governor Ben Ayade hots up, a Scottish born Engineer with specialty in Control System Engineering, Mkpang Coco Bassey has joined the Cross River State 2023 gubernatorial race in the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). 

Coco Bassey, from the southern senatorial  district, joined the race barely twenty-four hours after Senators Gershom Bassey also from southern senatorial zone and Sandy Onor from the central senatorial zone had picked expression of interest and governorship  nomination forms at the PDP national headquarters in Abuja.

Declaring  his ambition at the PDP Secretariat in Calabar on Thursday, Engineer Coco Bassey, who  is also the President of the Calabar Efik Forum in the United Kingdom,  said Cross River State needs leaders who keep promises and somebody who is aware of the challenges and prepared to face them.

He said: “Cross River State is blessed with huge potentials but needs the right leadership. We need leaders who can keep their promises. We also need leaders who are accessible and will not play politics with the future of our children.”
