COMMUNIQUE OF THE PDP NORTHERN SENATORIAL STAKEHOLDERS MEETING HELD ON THE 16TH DECEMBER, 2021 AT OGOJA
The Leaders, Elders, And Critical Stakeholders of the Northern Senatorial District during Their Meeting held on the 16th of December in Ogoja Resolved after conscientious deliberations of issues in the polity and our party the PDP as follows.
1. We congratulate our party for the successful conduct of the PDP state Congress in Cross River State and the National Convention at the Eagle square in Abuja.
2. We also want to commend the National Leadership for swinging into action immediately by organizing the retreat for party apparatchik to appraise and evaluate developments in the polity and position it for effectiveness.
3. We congratulate our National Chairman and his Executive together with our Son, Barr Vena Ikem, State Chairman, Cross River State chapter and his Executive Committee for the resounding Victory at the polls. Their emergence is a clear manifestation of their Credibility and acceptability by all party faithful. We wish them God’s blessings during their tenure of office.
4. We wholeheartedly share in the joy of the victory and inauguration of our Son, Distinguished Senator JARIGBE AGOM JARIGBE as the first elected Senator from Ogoja local Government. His victory is a legitimate testimony on the strength of our fledging democracy and chorus of his grandiose acceptability across board.
5. We make bold to state categorically that the position of the Northern Senatorial district is that Zoning of the Governorship has never been a formalized position in our politics. All that we have always had can best be described as an elimination process by succession. Indeed, we make bold to state that for the Governorship, the ticket is open for all Senatorial districts. We therefore call on all party organs to put in place a transparent process of selecting party candidates for all elective offices especially the Governorship.
6. We congratulate and thank all the people of goodwill both in and out of the state who stood by us in support of our great son, the Distinguished Senator, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe and pray to the Almighty God to grant them good tidings in all endeavors.
7 We condemn the poor management of the security situation leading to loss of lives, kidnappings, armed robbery, rape etc. and call on the Federal and State Government to do all in its power to secure its territorial integrity and its citizenry.
The leaders thanked Distinguished Senator Sandy Onor for the visit and consultation and appreciated him specifically for all the support given to our Son, Distinguished Senator JARIGBE AGOM JARIGBE during the battle to claim his mandate. They prayed God to bless Distinguished Senator Sandy Onor and called him a true friend and brother of the Northern Senatorial District.
Conclusively, we look forward to reciprocating the good gesture in the immediate future.
