GOVERNOR BASSEY EDET OTU AND HIS PENCHANT FOR GRASSROOT POLITICS,A TESTAMENT AS WE TAKE A LEAP INTO 2024 LGA ELECTIONS.

Governor Bassey Edet Otu, the current governor of Cross River State, is recognized for his focus on grassroots politics, a style that has resonated with the local populace. His political journey has been marked by deep engagement with the local communities, ensuring that governance is inclusive and aligned with the needs of the people at the grassroots level. His emphasis on this approach is shaping the political landscape of Cross River State as it heads toward the 2024 local government area (LGA) elections.

Governor Otu’s grassroots politics is evident in his frequent interactions with local leaders, community visits, and focus on policies that directly benefit rural areas, such as infrastructure development, health care access, and education. His administration has championed participatory governance, where local stakeholders are consulted in decision-making processes, ensuring that projects and policies reflect the real needs of the people. This level of engagement has built strong political capital for him and his party, as it fosters a sense of ownership among the electorate.

The upcoming 2024 LGA elections will likely serve as a litmus test for Governor Otu’s grassroots strategy. His commitment to empowering local governments and fostering development at the community level could solidify his party’s hold on the state’s political structure, particularly if local leaders align with his vision. If successful, this would set a precedent for other regions in Nigeria, demonstrating the potential of grassroots politics to strengthen democracy and governance at the local level.
