The general population of Cross River State have borne an excessively substantial weight of the imperfect structure of the Nigerian State.

"Cross River State has gotten minimal assurance from the Nigerian state. Twice have our domains been surrendered to Cameroon without discussion, not to mention insurance. Our kin have been transformed into outcasts in their tribal terrains. We immovably demand that the time has come to have exact and free exchanges on the articles of relationship among the distinctive people groups of Nigeria, with all alternatives open for talk. The solidarity of the Nigerian organization must be established on value, equity and fairness for all residents and talks in such manner must be started promptly in a serene, legitimate and obliging climate to maintain a strategic distance from the nation being pushed into a circumstance of turmoil and perplexity.

"The apparatus for transaction of the relationship with the Nigerian state by the different people groups and nationalities can't lie with the National Assembly due to the irregularity in portrayal organized into the National Assembly by different military administrations. We, along these lines, bolster usage of the different resolutions touched base at by the 2014 National Conference which will enable the states as Federating Unit to control and deal with their asset and intrinsically deal with their undertakings."
