Ogoja State: Stakeholder Commends Senator Jarigbe
By Ignatius Ushie
The Convener of Cross River North Development Forum, Mr Ajiwhen Mc Olugah, has thrown his weight behind the move by Sen. Jarigbe Agom, supporting the creation of Ogoja State, adding that it is urgent and compelling.
According to him, the position by Sen. Agom on the Ogoja State addresses the longstanding imbalance in the geopolitical distribution of states in Nigeria; especially Ogoja as one of the oldest provinces in the country without the status of a state.
“I thank and congratulate you our dear Senator for once again showing the people of Old Ogoja that you are a Senator with a deep passion for satisfying every request and cries of your people. It is a mark of respect for the desires of his people and it also shows that Sen. Jarigbe Agom is a General that leads his soldiers from the front”.
The Convener of CRNDF said the people of Cross River North are very proud of Sen. Agom’s support for the creation of Ogoja state because he has demonstrated his enormous potentials to lead from the front.
He said “We commend your populist tendencies to listen to your people at all times. May God continue to bless you abundantly above your enemies.
Recall, the Senator representing Cross River North in Nigeria’s Senate, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, recently said he is fully involved and has endorsed the idea of creating Ogoja State, out of present day Cross River State.
Agom also came clear that his insistence that Ogoja State be created out of Cross River State, is not an endorsement that seeks to dismember CRS, but a well intentioned endorsement that will take development to one of Nigeria’s oldest provinces, still largely underdeveloped and marginalised in the scheme of things.
