The Convener of Cross River North Development Forum, Mr Ajiwhen MC Olugah has thrown his weight behind the move by Senator Jarigbe Agom supporting the creation of Ogoja State; saying it is urgent and compelling.
Ajiwen said the position by Senator Agom on the Ogoja State addresses the longstanding imbalance in the geopolitical distribution of states in Nigeria; especially Ogoja as the oldest province in the country without the status of a state.
“I thank and congratulate you our dear Senator for once again showing us 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 Senator Jarigbe Agom is a General that leads his soldiers from the front. Jari na man ooh.”
Ajiwen said the people of Cross River North are very proud of Senator Agom’s support for the creation of Ogoja state because he has demonstrated his enormous potentials to lead us from the front.
We commend your populist tendencies to listen to your people at all times. May God continue to bless you abundantly above your enemies, he said.
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.
The Senator 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 province, still largely underdeveloped and marginalised in the scheme of things.
