He said his understanding of what it means to be poor will help him improve on the welfare of the people of the state, the majority of whom are poor.
Speaking with newsmen in Calabar after receiving his Certificate of Return from the Independent National Electoral commissioner in charge of Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states, Mrs Thelma Iremiren, Ayade said he will create a new agenda that is friendly to the people of Cross River state.
“We shall, with this opportunity afforded us by the people, create a new agenda, an agenda that focuses on the poor by making the means of production easy and affordable to move our people forward,” he said.
