Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources – Gas, Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe has formally launched his re-election bid in Cross River North Senatorial District with a call for civility, unity and issue-based politics.<\/p>\n
In a reflective message titled: \u201cA Piece of My Thoughts,\u201d he urged supporters to shun insults and personal attacks as the political temperature rises.<\/p>\n
He opened by thanking constituents for their \u201cunwavering support,\u201d then laid down clear rules for the campaign ahead.<\/p>\n
Senator Jarigbe acknowledged the strength of opponents\u2014including former Cross River State Governor Ben Ayade, but insisted his camp would trade ideas, not abuse.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmotions run high,\u201d he admitted, \u201cbut we are better than uncouth words. Our campaign will be defined by ideas, not insults.\u201d<\/p>\n
He went further, demanding respect for the governor\u2019s office, past and present, regardless of personal verdicts on performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether serving or former, that seat commands dignity. Critique records; don\u2019t abuse people,\u201d he counselled.<\/p>\n
The senator framed politics as a test of character, reminding followers that ambition fades but how we treat one another endures.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife\u2019s cravings amount to vanity,\u201d he said. \u201cWhat lasts is community\u2014how we live as sons and daughters of Cross River.\u201d<\/p>\n
He warned fellow aspirants against ignoring public sentiment: \u201cListen to our people, not live in denial of the obvious.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senator Jarigbe devoted special attention to party cohesion, urging the ruling All Progressives Congress. APC members to remember shared ties after primaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain one APC family. No ambition should wreck the conviviality we\u2019ve built,\u201d he cautioned.<\/p>\n
The lawmaker asked supporters to campaign with passion tempered by honour, avoiding rhetoric that deepens division, pointing out that respectful, ideas-driven debate would decide the Cross River North Senatorial District\u2014and define its future.<\/p>\n
Observers note the message sets a statesmanlike tone amid a field that includes political heavyweight like former Governor Ayade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
