One of the major supporters of Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom, Mr. Peter Akpanke code named (Peter the Rock) has congratulated the senator-elect, for his victory at the supreme court yesterday.
In a release made available to The Lumine News, Mr. Akpanke noted that Jarigbe’s victory is a confirmation that the voice of the people is the voice of God.
Mr. Akpanke described the tripartite victory at the (High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court) as unprecedented.
The party stalwart noted that “Jarigbe’s emergence has opened a new chapter that envisage hope and libration for Northern Cross River in particular and the entire state at large.
Referring to senator-elect, he noted that “I commend very sincerely your doggedness and resilience in the pursuit of what rightly belongs to you.
“This is the beginning of the many good things that awaits you. You are a shining star and a leading example”
Mr. Akpanke likened Jarigbe’s stolen mandate and the subsequent reclaiming of his victory to the mishap that befell Ziklag, when the Amalakites had raided Southern Judah, attacked Ziklag and looted everything. When David arrived, he sought the Lord’s permission to go after the Amalikites.
In 1Sam 30:8 & 18. “David asked the Lord, Shall I go after those raiders? And will I catch them? And the Lord answered, pursue them, and recover everything” Verse 18 “David rescued everyone and everything Amalakites had taken”
Mr. Akpanke averred that the success that is recorded throughout the sojourn can only be attributed to God’s benevolence and will. He commended the goodwill and prayers of all the supporters.
He assured that the senator-elect will do his best to justify this mandate and the goodwill enjoyed from the people of northern cross river across party lines.
The elated Mr. Akpanke used the opportunity to thank God who stood firmly by him and all those who believed and championed the emancipation of cross river northern senatorial district.
