  • Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe: The Personality Profiling of an Ideal Politician BY PETER AGI

     

    A common notion in contemporary politics holds that political competition and campaigning has become increasingly personalized over time, i.e., a party’s fortune will more than ever before depend on its leading figures. Within Cross River State, Senator Agom Jarigbe Agom” is a reputable politician with humongous capacity that must not be underrated. Today the personalization of political loyalty seems to have set a stage for political alignments with respect to supporters’ loyalty.

    What makes voters prefer a certain type of politician? Focus will be on the politicians’ personality traits as a useful cue for voters that can activate schematic knowledge about a politician’s political leanings and leadership styles. A case review of “The Very Distinguished Senator Jarigbe Agom”.

    This has become fundamentally clear, because there seem to be a paradigm that has been defined in the ensuing political trajectory in the “Cross River North” albeit Cross RIver State. The name of “The Very Distinguished Senator Agom Jarigbe Agom” is consistently and remarkably stimulating greater political loyalties amongst his people.

    Agom Jarigbe Agom has made people to ask what voters’ want from the individual rather than the political party. He has changed the narrative of political discussions and dynamics with respect to representation. Never in the history of representation have the people been so copiously impacted by any political elites like the way he has. The ideological lines of political parties have been relegated to the background and the emerging factor for election now is the compassionate and empathetic leadership of the people’s Senator.

    It is now true and crystal clear that people will vote for PDP because of the personality of Jarigbe in the CR-Northern District rather than the party itself. The CR-Northern District voters are seeking ideological congruence of the party and that of the Senator. There’s no doubt that his ideological wisdom represents the desirable expectations of the will of the people. He is wearing the shoes of the electorates and knows their pains and desires.

    With election campaigns becoming personalized and candidates becoming increasingly important voting cues, the people of the Northern District are continually convinced that Senator Agom Jarigbe Agom will act to protect their interests and represent them well. They believe that his conduct, so far in office protects them from unnecessary vulnerabilities. To them, he is the ideal and total politician that has made representation attractive. He possesses some exceptional leadership traits that distinguish him from other political elites. This explains why he is the most talked about politician within that political sphere.

    The senator possesses the capacity for emotional stability, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness; compassion and empathy , honesty and humility. These qualities make voters prefer him to others. Jarigbe has been tested and proven to be trusted. He is selfless. That’s why every politician in this region must identify with him to enjoy that humongous victory desirable. He is the people’s first choice and always put them first.

    Jarigbe already knows what he is doing currently and what he is going to do during his term in office after 2023 (i.e., representation of policy preferences) and how he is going to do it. It is one thing sending a political neophyte into a territory that he lacks capacity to attract good things back to his people. This is not the time to do just that. Jarigbe now understands how to put items in the budget for the good of his people. His experience has proven to be valuable so far for his people.

    Voters seek personality congruence with political candidates, in part through the representation of basic values and core ideological attitudes. The personality of Jarigbe certainly accommodates the interests and wishes of his people. He is preferred because he stays in touch with the people, very often appear in public and on e (social) media, rather than hermits who reign (maybe well, but) in a silent, untransparent, and isolated way. His projects are visible for all to see. Jarigbe is outgoing, sociable, and talks directly with his people. There’s indeed connection between him and the CR-Northern District people. He answers their calls and solves their problems.

    Jarigbe is not known to change his opinions as the wind blows but always pushes his agenda through (despite obstacles). That means he is a trustworthy man of conviction and very firm. He is hard-working, dutiful, self–disciplined, and achieving. He is reliable, predictable, trustworthy and never engaged in fraud or corruption. His records in public service are impeccable. These are rare traits that distinguishes him from others.

    Senator Jarigbe has access to a lot of information, knowledge, and an incredibly outstanding high intellectual capacity to process this information. When I personally watch him dissect issues on the floor of the senate, during political discussions on national television I get so amused and proud of his intellectual ability. His capacity for rendition, charisma, carriage, comportment, display of linguistic creativity, language concord and candor are remarkably impressive.

    The people must be willing to reward the characteristics of ‘a genuine intellectual’, ‘an intellectual leader’, ‘knowledgeable’, and ‘well-informed’ . Senator meteoric rise within the intellectually engaging arena is commendable. Let’s appreciate his capacity in this regards. This guy is knowledgeable and open minded. He is a man who understands pressure yet maintains an amazing level of poise indeed balance when challenges arise.

    If you deserve and desire an incredibly inspiring partnership to achieve the developmental goals for our collective interests, then you necessarily continually participate in the opportunity to make developments real. Support the ideal candidacy of Senator Agom Jarigbe Agom. He shares basic values with you.

  • Bukola Saraki Campaign Advocacy Council Visits Party Secretariat, Solicits Support For Saraki’s Presidential Ambition.

    *PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY CROSS RIVER STATE*

    1st April 2022.

    Press Statement

    *Bukola Saraki Campaign Advocacy Council Visits Party Secretariat*
    ……Solicits Support for Saraki’s Presidential ambition.

    Earlier today, the State Working Committee members of our party received in audience the Campaign Advocacy Council of Senator Dr. Bukola Saraki led by Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher. The Campaign Council arrived the Secretariat around 9am.

    Speaking during the consultative meeting, the Spokesperson of the campaign council, Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher thanked the leadership of the Party for the reception accorded them, stressing that Cross River State has always been a good neighboring state to the North, especially North Central. Speaking about Bukola Saraki’s Presidential ambition, the Spokesperson declared that hope has arrived with the coming of Dr. Bukola Saraki.

    “I want you to rejoice with us because hope has arrived. Nigerians are victims of broken promises. We are faced with leadership failure. Failure to provide good leadership to manage the resources of this country. We have bad leaders with bad management taking loans without concrete plans on how to repay. This is the time to look for qualitative leadership to pull Nigeria to the greatest height. A president that is not a product of Zoning but competence. For even if we are to talk about zoning, North Central where Bukola Saraki hail from, is yet to produce a president. For Bukola Saraki, he will serve as a nexus between the young and old as he is relatively young. His experience as former Governor and Senate President is another considerable advantage”

    Reacting to the comment made by the Spokesperson, the State Chairman of the Party, Hon. Barr. Venatius Ikem thanked the campaign council for coming to Cross River State. He reiterated the commitment of the party to competence and capacity.

    “My path with your Principal has crossed even to the other generation. I coordinated for Bukola’s father, Oloye when he ran for Presidency in 1992. I was the Chairman of the Electoral Panel that delivered Bukola Saraki as Governorship Candidate. By the grace of God, I will be here to assist him become President. So, I welcome you specially, especially on this agenda, the Saraki Agenda. We in Cross River State like you’ve heard had an accident that has tagged us an opposition State but the reality on ground will always testify differently. We are the surest State for PDP. I am delighted whenever I see a team with people of high intellectual capabilities and experience. As Chairman, I have to manage all the contending aspiration that comes to us but ultimately, it is God that gives power. Within the Chairmen forum, there’s a lot of talk about capacity because we have all seen what just Politics has done to us. Last year, Nigeria used 4trillion Naira just to service debt, not to repay debt, and if you remember, our budget was about 12trillion Naira. Which means, very soon we will be using half of our budget to service debt. This is a serious disaster and I fear for tomorrow. So, we need people with the capacity to navigate their way through the economy and other sectors”

    Signed

    At Obanliku, KJ Jeddy-Agba used the opportunity to acknowledge the relentless efforts of the former Senate President, Dr Joseph Wayas, whose contribution to the development of Nigeria and Obanliku in particular, speaks volumes.

    His words “I want us to observe a minute silence for late Joseph wayas, whom I described as the political bulldozer.

  • Gov Ayade Impact While In The Private Sector Is My Motivation To Serve My People – Agbor

    A front line contender for the Obudu State Constituency election comes 2023, Dr Godwin Agbor has stated that look up to Sen Prof Ben Ayade then when he was in the private sector. He started by giving scholarship where some of my close relations benefited. He became my role model looking at the trajectory of what he has achieved and done for our people.

    Dr Agbor disclosed to TheLumineNews in an interview:

    TLN: Can we meet you please?

    Dr Agbor: I am Dr Godwin Agbor, Medical Director, Omega Agbor Clinic and Maternity, Okundi-Boki LGA. Currently, I am the General Secretary, Association of Nigerian Private Medical Practitioners (ANPMP), Cross River State chapter. Businessman and politician.

    I hail from Utugwang South, Obudu LGA of Cross River State. I am a member of the All Progressive Congress APC and was the party flag bearer for the December 2020 bye-election for Obudu State Constituency.

    I served as the Supervisor, APC membership revalidation/registration exercise for Obudu, 2021. I also served in the reconciliatory committee that harmonized the previous factions in the party in Obudu.
    I was the poineer ward Secretary of the defunct All People’s Party APP in 1999, during which time I donated an apartment for the ward secretariat, opposite St Paul’s Primary School, Ukpada. I am a Knight of St Molumba Nigeria, as the Sub Council Physician for St Patrick’s Parish Kakwagom, Boki Local Government Area.

    TLN: What is your motivation to serve?

    Dr Agbor: I have a strong passion to serving humanity. That is why I chose medical profession whose motive is ‘service to humanity’ This I have been quitely doing for more than a decade now. Quite a number of our constituents used to receive assistance by way of the health needs and empowerment. I feel fulfilled at providing such services.

    Secondly, when I was still in the primary school, in 1989, I took first in a gifted scholarship exams, Organised by the then Minister of Education, Prof Jubril. Then our late Elderstatesman , Denis Akwaji, addressed and gave me support to be kind to our people after completion of my studies. He used to attract a lot of infrastructural and manpower development to Obudu and Nigeria at large. So he became my role model and I got inspired to aspire into position which I can serve my constituency to the best of my ability with God on my side.

    Thirdly, l look up to Sen Prof Ben Ayade then when he was in the private sector. He started by giving scholarship where some of my close relations benefited. He became my role model looking at the trajectory of what he has achieved and done for our people. He has raised the bar beyond what any of us can think of as far as Obudu is concerned.

    TLN: What is your plans for youth inclusiveness in your policy formulation and implementation?

    Dr Agbor: I am a youth to start with. I don’t think my policy trust will be fair without the very strata I belong. The youths deserve to be fully involved in all level of governance because they constitute more than 60 percent of the entire population. The youth have the energy, the mental alertness and the proficiency to drive any process. Just as my leader, mentor and role model, Prof Ben Ayade has shown that 80 percent of his administrative drive constitutes the youths. I shall ensure that if voted into office to represent the good people of Obudu, sponsor bills that are youths centered in areas of Information and Communication Technology ICT, agriculture, entertainment and sports development.

    TLN: How do you intend to harness the vast potentials in the youths to solving the myriads of challenges confronting us using the Tech Solution?

    Dr Agbor: You have said it all that the youths are energetic, full of wisdom and they explore a lot as seen in ICT. It is unfortunate that some bad elements among us indulged in cyber Yahoo Yahoo activities, which is a criminal cyber security issue. I think this trend can be reversed. Those boys can be engaged, retrained by psychologists as to use same knowledge and ideas to provide modern security in technology, by government at all levels, private organizations or individuals instead of allowing them idle. “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”

    TLN: How do you intend to advance the course of empowerment in your constituency?

    Dr Agbor: Giving of motorcycles, sewing machines and grinding machines is not a bad idea. But I will go a step further to include giving scholarship to intellectually sound constituents, skills acquisition, craftsmanship and business training to enhance small and medium enterprise as well as partner with organizations that provide credit facility for my constituents.

    TLN: Bearing in mind that your constituents are predominantly peasant farmers, what is your plan to advance their livelihood?

    Dr Agbor: The APC led government already have in place programmes like the Anchor Borrowers Scheme, which have seen a lots of our people cultivate more rice and cereal crops. I will facilitate more of my constituents to benefit from such programmes by working very closely with my leaders at the centre. This can improve their means of livelihood in poultry, fisheries, cassava farming etc.

    TLN: How do you intend to change the narrative of poor stakeholder’s engagement in your constituency?

    Dr Agbor: I wouldn’t agree with you completely on this, but I think more robust contributions from stakeholder’s engagement is the way to go. Yes our leaders need to be properly engaged, carry along with the policies of government to avoid friction in the politics. I will hold meetings regularly so that what the people want, government can provide with the limited available resources. Don’t forget, Cross River State has been denied her God given resources in the political lost of her 76 Oil wells to our sister state, Akwa Ibom. In the same vein, Bakassi was ceded to Cameroon. This by extension has drastically reduced our revenue base. I use to wonder what this present administration of Sen Prof Ben Ayade is doing that he has achieved so much with limited resources.

    TLN: Your party, the All Progressive Congress APC, in recent times is known for consensus, do you have the confidence that the party will provide a level playing ground for you to advance your aspiration?

    Dr Agbor: Yes I am very confident that my party, APC leaders, critical stakeholders and members will give us the level playing ground for all of us who want to aspire to achieve it. I am qualified by training, by political experiences, and what I have done as a private medical practitioner to my people.
    I have no doubt in my mind that which ever modalities my party adopts for the primaries election, I will be supported again. And don’t forget, the last bye-election, for Obudu State Constituency, 2020, I emerged party flag bearer via a consensus.
    More importantly, the APC led Chairman in the state, Barr Alphonsus Ogar Eba have shown tremendous capacity. He is a man who is simple and accessable who have galvanized the party and will want the popular person to emerge through a transparent, fair and level playing process, so that the APC can win the general election.

    TLN: How have you impacted your people previously?

    Dr Agbor: My dear, I think that question will have rather being for my people to answer, knowing what I have done for them so far. However, don’t forget I told you that I have been reaching out to numerous persons in my medical practice at Omega Agbor Clinic and Maternity Okundi-Boki, through free medical outreaches, organised sporting activities and graded 5km road from Eshankpe to Mbube in my community, just to mention but a few. I have a penchant to do more for not only my constituency Obudu, but for mankind at large, if given the opportunity to serve. This service will not be about me, but the people.

    TLN: What is your campaign ideology and your advice to your supporters?

    Dr Agbor: It is simply the ideology of my party which together we can do for Obudu “Yes we can”
    I want to appeal to them to remain committed to this aspiration which is a collective decision for the good people of Obudu. They should continue to propagate our aspiration to all nooks and crannies of Obudu. I count on their prayers to ensure that collectively, we will achieve our aspiration.
    Thank you and God bless you.
