I Can’t Celebrate My Birthday Amid Hardship” – Governor Bassey Otu Laments on 65th Birthday
Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has marked his 65th birthday but chose not to celebrate the occasion due to the growing economic hardship faced by Nigerians. Speaking on Sparkling FM in Calabar, the governor expressed his concerns about the country’s current struggles, emphasizing that it would be insensitive to host a lavish birthday celebration in the midst of widespread suffering.
Otu, who was connected to the radio program by his special advisers, Linus Obogo and Barrister Ekpenyong Akiba, stated, “I cannot, in all sincerity, celebrate my birthday with the expected fanfare when there’s so much hardship across the country. Hyperinflation has caused immense suffering, and it would be wrong to have an elaborate celebration. That’s why it is a low-key event.”
Despite the somber tone of his birthday, Governor Otu expressed his deep gratitude to the people of Cross River for their prayers and goodwill. He reaffirmed his commitment to serving the state with transparency and dedication, promising that his administration is focused on bringing meaningful change to the people.
“I have held many positions in this country, and in all, I have never disappointed. I vow not to disappoint the people of Cross River State as their governor, by the grace of God. There will be value addition,” the governor said.
Looking ahead, Otu announced plans to hold regular town hall meetings across the state’s three senatorial districts starting next year. These meetings, he explained, would offer an opportunity for citizens to engage with him directly, ask unfiltered questions, and hear his responses firsthand.
This gesture, he believes, will foster open dialogue between the government and the people, ensuring that their concerns are addressed and creating a platform for transparency and accountability.
The governor’s decision to forgo a grand birthday celebration during these tough economic times resonates with many Nigerians who are experiencing the effects of rising inflation and other economic challenges.I Can’t Celebrate My Birthday Amid Hardship” – Governor Bassey Otu Laments on 65th Birthday
