Sam Bassey, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River state, has declared support for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sandy Onor, ahead of the 2023 general election.

Bassey pledged his support for Onor alongside some community leaders in the Biase local government area of the state. Sandy Onor, the PDP governorship candidate in Cross River, has secured the support of an APC chieftain, Sam Bassey.

The APC chieftain said he and his followers decided to work for the success of Onor, while still in the ruling party. We are not engaged in anti-party activity, says Bassey Bassey claimed their action does not in any way amount to anti-party activity.

According to him, their action is meant to correct the “injustice meted out to their constituency”. He also clarified that he did not defect to the PDP. “The zoning structure adopted by the state chapter of the APC in their primary elections is in itself anti-Akamkpa/Biase Federal Constituency, where we all hail from,” he stated. Bassey, a member of the APC legacy group, said the time has come for the political class and political parties to demonstrate equity, fairness and justice in sharing political offices.

"It was expected... the Governor forced all of them to defeat (to APC?) in the first place. So supporting PDP Candidate is just the right thing anyway." Sulaiman Bala said: "Nothing wrong with that, he is just protecting his interests." Arnold B-South Tesione said: "I’m liking how 2023 people are waking up."
