The promise
A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Isong was elected in 1979 on the NPN platform promising disciplined administration, agriculture and rural development across the old Cross River State (present-day Cross River and Akwa Ibom).
Assessment
His government pursued agricultural expansion and rural infrastructure in line with the NPN's 'Green Revolution'. A quantified, sourced account of delivery over 1979–1983 is limited in the summary record.

The promise
Implicit in seeking to continue as governor beyond 1983.
Assessment
The NPN did not renominate Isong; Donald Etiebet became the party's candidate and won the 1983 Cross River governorship, serving about three months before the December 1983 coup. Isong retired from public life and died in 2000.
