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

    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.

  • PDP Primaries: FBI Calls On Jarigbe Agom To Reconcile Aggrieved Members

    PDP Primaries: FBI Calls On Jarigbe Agom To Reconcile Aggrieved Members

    A right lawyer and one of the counsels to Sen Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, Mr First Baba Isa Esq has called on the senator to speedily reconcile parties that are aggrieved following the outcome of the just concluded PDP primaries for Ogoja/Yala federal constituency bye-election slated for Feb 26th, 2022.

    Mr Isa made the call on his verified Facebook account:

    “I would have been seriously surprised if Senator Jarigbe Agom is not blamed for one thing or the other in the just concluded PDP primaries to elect its candidate for the upcoming by-election for the Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency.

    ‘My Learned Friend, Barr Offiono lost the primaries, it’s Jarigbe’s fault; if Mike Usibe had lost the elections, it would have been Jarigbe’s fault. Both of them were his key supporters in his battle for the Senate seat. Both of them expected his support and it will be assumed that any one who won was the one who got the support.

    “That’s my constituency too and as one of Jarigbe’s lawyers and supporters, if I had contested that primaries and lost, I and my supporters would have blamed the Senator. It is what it is. If you don’t get it, forget about it. There is nothing the Senator can do about it. That’s the price of being the leader of the party, especially in that constituency.

    “But I really want us to get it, because there is a positive side to blaming the Senator. That people blame him for their loss and assume he supported the winner to win is evidence that they believe in his leadership and capacity to lead and deliver. The conclusion is that he has all it takes to influence the emergence of a winner. The Senator should see this as a positive, get inspired and motivated by it.

    “It’s time for the Senator to lead the charge in reconciling his supporters at that level. That’s a task he must undertake immediately. The Senator or any other person should not just focus on explaining how neutral the Senator was. Those who do not want to believe this, won’t.

    “This challenge is not just for the Senator, it is for his followers too: for Goffio and his supporters who are supporters and aides to the Senator. We are about to see how strong their unity is, in the face of disagreement.

    “I write this because of my projections a few days ago. I had projected that if PDP fields a candidate from Ukelle to run against an APC candidate from Yala, PDP will win the elections, ceterius paribus. However, I must submit that this projection might not be possible with the present rancour in PDP.

    “APC seems more united at the moment; and no one has ever won a battle against unity.

    “By Firsts Baba Isa (FBI)”

    Sandy Onor Sponsors A Motion To Upgrade And Standardize Traveling Processes At The Margaret Ekpo lnternational Airport, Calabar

    THE URGENT NEED TO UPGRADE INFRASTRUCTURE AND STANDARDISE TRAVELLING PROCESSES AT THE MARGARET EKPO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, CALABAR, CROSS RIVER STATE.

    Sponsor: Senator (Prof.) Sandy Ojang Onor (Cross River Central)

    Co-Sponsors: … Senator Gershom Bassey
    Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe

    The Senate:

    NOTES that the Calabar airport, Cross River State, was commissioned in July 1983, by former President Shehu Shagari and was equipped with modern facilities at the time and was soon raised to the status of an International airport.

    FURTHER NOTES that in the 1980’s and 1990’s, the National Carrier; Nigeria Airways, used to fly regionally from Calabar to Cameroun and Equitorial Guinea. This impacted positively on the economy of Cross River State, Nigeria and the sub-region at large.

    AWARE that the airport had standard facilities at that time, which were being maintained by the Federal Government. Most of these facilities while still being used, are now obsolete and need to be upgraded or replaced.

    FURTHER AWARE that although the airport still has the “international” status, the airport does not operate any international or regional flights anymore. In fact, until recently, only one commercial airline plied the Calabar route.

    WORRIED that if the international status of the airport is not restored, most of these facilities will further deteriorate and waste.

    CONCERNED that the lack of international / regional flights has greatly affected the economy and tourism drive of the state in particular and Nigeria at large.

    ACCORDINGLY RESOLVES TO:
    Urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and all other relevant agencies to functionally restore the International flight status of the Margaret Ekpo International Airport, Calabar.

    Urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and all other relevant agencies to fix and upgrade existing facilities to meet up with the required international standards.

    Urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and all relevant agencies to ensure adequate security cover in and around the airport to protect equipment such as the Navigational Aids, lighting cables and the perimeter fence that are constantly vandalised by criminally minded people.

    Urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and other relevant agencies to provide any facility needed to restore the International status of the airport, such as the Instrument Landing System (ILS) for night landings and the approach lights, which have been vandalised due to inadequate security cover.

    Urge the Federal Ministry of Aviation and other relevant agencies to install the Migration Information and Data Analysis System (MIDAS). This will aid in restarting the International route programme of the Airport.
    I so move.

    “I hereby resign my office as member of the House of Representatives for Ogoja/Yala Federal Constituency. This is forwarded for Mr Speaker’s information and necessary action.

    “I am leaving the House of Representatives with mixed feelings but it is a clarion call to serve my people in the upper chamber, which cannot be suppressed. I enjoyed my stay in the House of Representatives under your detribalised and competent leadership, coupled with the conviviality I shared with my other colleagues. I look forward to working with my other colleagues as we strive to make Nigeria a better country.”

    In his remarks, Gbajabiamila said, “We wish distinguished Senator Jarigbe well. He has moved to the Senate. It is next door; he is not far away from us. I still believe that it is his own loss leaving the House of Representatives, the most vibrant House in Nigerian history.”
