” Fellow citizens of Abi/Yakurr extraction in Cross River State, today is yet another day to remember how we gained freedom from our task masters, the day we secured independence, the day we took our destiny in our hands.
” As a people, we may not have reached our Eldorado. Nigeria is still work in progress. Our leaders are still work in progress and that being the case, we need to be patient, prayerful and committed to doing the right things until we get them right.

Egbona gave the assurance that he was working with the federal and state governments to attract the good things of life to his people and urged them to remain peaceful, law abiding and promote anything that would attract development to the area.
