The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on its members to ensure a peaceful and violence-free campaign ahead of the 2023 general elections.

A Cross River senator, Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe, made the call at the inauguration of the campaign committee of the constituency in Ogoja on Thursday.

Mr Agom-Jarigbe said the poor performance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state provided them with materials for the campaign.

“As such, let’s go about our campaign peacefully and in a non-violent manner since the APC has made our work easier over their abysmal performance in Cross River,” he said.

The senator, seeking a return to the Senate, warned the committee members on complacency and encouraged them not to relent in discharging their duties until the desired objectives are met.

“I am positive that our party will once again prove its ability to successfully midwife another victorious election in 2023,” added the senator.

PDP chair in Cross River, Venatius Ikem, urged the committee to take the campaign to every nook and cranny of the senatorial district to sell all party candidates.
