    By Elijah Ugani

    One of the major supporters of Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom, Mr. Peter Akpanke code named (Peter the Rock) has congratulated the senator-elect, for his victory at the supreme court yesterday.

    In a release made available to The Lumine News, Mr. Akpanke noted that Jarigbe’s victory is a confirmation that the voice of the people is the voice of God.

    Mr. Akpanke described the tripartite victory at the (High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court) as unprecedented.

    The party stalwart noted that “Jarigbe’s emergence has opened a new chapter that envisage hope and libration for Northern Cross River in particular and the entire state at large.

    Referring to senator-elect, he noted that “I commend very sincerely your doggedness and resilience in the pursuit of what rightly belongs to you.

    “This is the beginning of the many good things that awaits you. You are a shining star and a leading example”

    Mr. Akpanke likened Jarigbe’s stolen mandate and the subsequent reclaiming of his victory to the mishap that befell Ziklag, when the Amalakites had raided Southern Judah, attacked Ziklag and looted everything. When David arrived, he sought the Lord’s permission to go after the Amalikites.

    In 1Sam 30:8 & 18. “David asked the Lord, Shall I go after those raiders? And will I catch them? And the Lord answered, pursue them, and recover everything” Verse 18 “David rescued everyone and everything Amalakites had taken”

  • Court Of Appeal Declares Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe PDP Senatorial Candidate For Cross River North

     

    The battle for the Cross River North Senatorial seat which was won by the Peoples Democratic Party at the December 5, rescheduled elections has taken a different twit 24 hours after Dr. Stephen Odey was sworn in by the Clerk of the Senate.

    The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has just declared Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe as the duly nominated candidate of the PDP and the rightful winner of the election against Dr. Odey who was declared by INEC and sworn in by the Senate.

    The Court also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC to immediately issue a Certificate of Return to Hon. Jarigbe and withdraw the one earlier issued to Dr. Stephen Odey.

    In its unanimous judgment, the court of Appeal upheld the judgment of the trial court that the primaries which produced Jarigbe was conducted with the correct and authentic list of delegates and that Hon Jarigbe having scored the highest number of valid votes in the primary election is the validly nominated candidate of the PDP.

    The Appeal Court also upheld the position of the Federal High Court that the primary election was duly monitored by the INEC in line with the law hence was a valid primary election of the PDP.

    This judgment has abruptly halted the seeming advantage Dr. Stephen Odey got yesterday when he was invited by the Clerk of the Senate to take his oath of office and allegiance. This is despite another order of the FCT High Court which restrained the Senate from swearing Dr. Odey in as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    By this judgment and until the Supreme Court gives its final judgment, Hon. Jarigbe is expected to be sworn in immediately to sit to represent the good people of Cross River North Senatorial District.

  • Senate President Ahmad Lawan Swears In Stephen Odey As Senator Representing Cross River North

    The Nigerian Senate today sworn in Stephen Odey as senator representing Cross River Northern Senatorial district.

    Odey was not sworn in along others yesterday, which sparked speculations that he was rejected base on the injunction gotten by the Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe member representing Ogoja/Yala federal constituency, who was a major contender for the party ticket.

    Two Federal High Courts of equal jurisdictions had given conflicting judgment to both Stephen and Jarigbe as authentic flag bearers of the PDP ticket.

    Odey was however given the certificate of return. A development that led Rt. Jarigbe to get the court injunction to restraint the inauguration.

  • 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”.
