The PDP presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has promised to revive the Calabar port so that it would open up the Eastern business corridor.
Atiku gave the pledge yesterday at the PDP presidential rally in Calabar.
The PDP standard bearer said as an industrialist, he knows that the Calabar port was too strategic to be ignored.
He also stated that the Calabar port would bring economic dividends to the economy of Cross River State and neighbouring states.
Atiku shared these sentiments yesterday via his verified Twitter account.
Said Atiku:” Our rally in Calabar today provided an opportunity to tell Cross Riverians about the prospects that the Calabar port would bring to the economy of Cross River State and neighbouring states.
I told the people that more than any other candidate in this election, I know better how important the Calabar port will open up the Eastern business corridor. I know because I am an industrialist.”
