In an Independence Day message, the party's State Publicity Secretary, Prince Mike Ojisi, stated that the PDP is strengthening its structures from the ward to the state level. This move aims to present credible and people-oriented candidates who can bring prosperity back to the state.
Nigeria and Cross River State are currently facing challenging times, marked by economic hardship, insecurity, and infrastructural deficits. Despite these challenges, Prince Ojisi urged citizens to remain hopeful and patriotic. He emphasized that 1 October is a significant day in the nation's history, reminding Nigerians of the sacrifices made by their founding fathers for freedom, unity, and sovereignty.

However, the party expressed optimism that Nigeria and Cross River State will overcome these hurdles and emerge stronger. Prince Ojisi called on citizens to remain peaceful and hopeful, assuring that the PDP is working to bring back prosperity to the state.
