When the not too young to run bill was passed, the excitement from the youths was overwhelming but then again it was about youths that dared to dare, with lots of capacity.
ππππππ πππππππππ Jnr. Senator-elect, Cross River Southern senatorial district over the last couple of years has continued to be a shining light and the torch bearer of youths around the state and not just in his senatorial district.
With his ππππππ πππππππππ Foundation, he has empowered thousands of youth through human capital development, scholarships, health support, etc.
With his “STANDARD” mantra he has set a cautious reminder that sets the pace for others to follow. Haven said that, during his time as commissioner for finance Cross River state, he set the “STANDARD” for the most effective budget performance, a tedious fit for the next person to achieve.
Also during this period, his team was largely surrounded by youths thereby endearing him to the youth and he became the beacon of hope to all and sundry.
With his prolific record and strict work ethic, now saddled with a higher responsibility as Senator-elect of Cross River Southern senatorial district, youths should be enthusiastic that with ππππππ πππππππππ Jnr, they now have a place in the boardroom, this is evident in the activities thus far since his emergence.
His romance with the president and key government functionaries, also with the consensus leader of the senate, has shown that he is prepared and has what it takes to excel in this new responsibility.
I urge youths of the Cross River South to key behind his ambiance, indeed this is the time for a dedicated blueprint and STANDARD would be set for the emancipation and development of Cross River South.
