The United Coalition Movement for Prince Otu and Odey (UCMPOO) has announced the constitution of its State Executive Council, signalling a fresh chapter in its mobilisation efforts for unity, reconciliation and broader political support for Cross River State Governor, Prince Bassey Otu, and his deputy Governor Peter Odey ahead of the 2027 elections.
The coalition, according to its Director-General, Austine Ibok, is designed to build a broad-based political movement capable of mobilising support beyond the traditional All Progressives Congress (APC) structure.
Ibok said the movement would engage opposition party members, political candidates, stakeholders across party lines, as well as aggrieved and dissatisfied members of the old APC who may feel excluded or insufficiently carried along in the current political arrangement.
He said the initiative was aimed at promoting unity, reconciliation and political integration while galvanising wider support for the Otu administration ahead of the 2027 polls.
According to him, UCMPOO will focus its advocacy and mobilisation around key areas of governance and development, including sustainable infrastructure, smart security solutions, economic diversification through the blue and green economy, low-income housing, human development and empowerment.
In an official announcement, Ibok said the appointments followed extensive consultations with leaders and stakeholders across the state and were made in line with the movement’s objectives, core values and mandate.
The State Executive structure includes the positions of Deputy Director-General I and II, Diaspora Coordinator, Abuja Coordinator, Secretary-General, Political Reconciliation and Integration of Old APC Members, Media and Publicity, Contact and Mobilisation, Women Affairs, Youth Affairs, Policy Management and Execution, and General Duties and Operations.
The movement also announced zonal coordinators for the three senatorial districts of the state.
For the North Senatorial District, the listed coordinators include Gabriel Ijang, Edward Odu Ncha, Ikpeme Damon and David Ekpenyong.
The Central Senatorial District has Victor Omaga Odo, Hon. Sylvester Nsa, Dr Diana Mary Nsan and Mr Emeka Osbert, while the South Senatorial District has Esther Illah, Ewa Malaysia, Amb. Helen Inyang, Hon. Leo Asuquo, Austin Akan, Prince Takim Okongor and Hon. Effiom Effiwatt.
The Director-General congratulated the newly appointed executives and charged them to regard their appointments as a call to service, commitment, sacrifice and collective responsibility.
He urged the appointees to work together towards achieving the movement’s objectives and strengthening its mobilisation and reconciliation efforts across Cross River State.
Ibok added that further appointments and announcements would be communicated in due course.
