The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Cross River State, Senator Prof Sandy Ojang Onor, at the weekend commissioned a campaign office donated to him by a youth group in Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State, to boost his campaign machinery ahead of the 2023 general election, which is fast approaching.
Commissioning the campaign office, called, ‘Walk and Pray,’ conceived by former member representing Ikom/Boki federal constituency, and grand patron to the group, Hon. Jones Ayuk Tangban, Onor lauded the youths for the initiative and prayed God to replenish the treasury of the youth group.
Onor, who doubles as the lawmaker representing Cross River Central at upper chamber of National Assembly, stated, “I was in Abuja when these young businessmen visited me and gave me dollars for support of this governorship project. And I said these people are one of a kind.
“I am not a money man, but my money never finishes. So I want to say thank you, as you have given me your money, so shall your money be multiplied.
“Like my late friend, James Ewa, would always say, ‘Sandy your money no dey finish.’
“Yet I am not a business man, probably because God sees the heart. The Bible is always correct, as you give, God will always give you back. I am so delighted. We are in the race for governor. No matter how hot the heat is, we will win the election.
“We shall become governor by the grace of God. Our people are with us. The momentum is with us. The wind is behind our sail. I am happy that all of you are here. I am happy that even the widows are here with us.
“Lest I forget, the last time I was with you, you people prayed for me. Your colleagues in Calabar, visited me and prayed for me. They also gave me N53,000 that I refused to spend, but added it to my money for my money to grow. Because it’s was like a seed. God bless you all. I am happy to find myself in your midst.”
In his early remarks, the grand patron, Walk and Pray Movement, Hon. Jones Tangban, charged members of the group to take their stand by making sure that Sandy emerges as governor in 2023.
He said, “It’s a movement. We are going to move from church to church, motor park to motor park, to preach the gospel of Prof. Sandy Onor.”
