President Goodluck Jonathan, Vice President Namadi Sambo, Senate President David Mark, Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Abubakar Baraje and former President Olusegun Obasanjo stormed Calabar, the Cross River State capital, yesterday to canvass for votes for the PDP governorship candidate, Liyel Imoke.

Speaking at the grand finale of the PDP campaign at the U. J. Esuene Stadium, Jonathan said: “I want to re-emphasise the good works of Senator Imoke.

“Let me start with a statement made by ex-President Obasanjo when he said that he sometimes envies the unity we have shown in Cross River State PDP family.

“You know in every state, so long as we are human beings, we would have cause to disagree, but whether we disagree what makes us unique is our ability to resolve our differences.

“When I came in here and saw ex-Governor Donald Duke and his wife and others it made me very happy. That shows that Cross River State is one.

“We appreciate what the former governor started and what Liyel Imoke continued and has added to these legacies and that is how it should be.”
