  • The Struggle For Emancipation Continues, As I celebrate my 50th Birth Anniversary – Jarigbe Agom.

    By Elijah Ugani

    The member representing Ogoja/Yala federal constituency, Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe has stated that the steuggle for the emancipation of Cross River North Senatorial District continues as he celebrates his 50th birth anniversary.

    The lawmaker used the opportunity to pray for those who were maimed and killed in the struggle during the PDP primaries election.

    His message on his birthday is that we eschew bitterness in this game of politics and give room for participatory politics, rather than being dictatorial and suppressive.

    The message reads in full “The Struggle for Emancipation continues, as I celebrate my 50th birthday.

    “Politics is not War but I see some people take it personally. Its a game of wits. I accept defeat when I am outwitted and I think others should accept defeat when outwitted and re-strategize.

    “Its as clear as crystals, the preference of the majority of the people in CRNorth as it concerns the Senate Seat. Its also obvious that the Gov wants to foist his Candidate on our people. He is actually using our common patrimony and State Resources to achieve this but that’s the politics. You use what you have, to get what you want, so no one should be bitter about it. He has a right to his ambitions. My only reservation is that, he doesn’t think others should express themselves because there is a Governor. I grew up in a home that encouraged me to be competitive and not timid.

    “My message on my birthday is that we eschew bitterness in this game of politics and give room for participatory politics, rather than being dictatorial and suppressive.

    “ITS A GAME. LET US ENJOY IT TOGETHER. NO BAD BLOOD. AT THE END, LET’S BE READY TO CONGRATULATE THE PERSON THAT EMERGES, BUT FOR NOW, ITS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE.

    “FINALLY, TO MY SUPPORTERS, I SAY, THE BATTLE JUST STARTED. LAMENTATIONS 3: 36 & 37.

    “I remain unconquerable”.
