By every standard, the recently concluded tour of the Deputy Governor of Cross River State, Rt. Hon. Peter Odey, PhD, across the Northern Senatorial District was a resounding success. But beyond the official speeches, community engagements, and political goodwill generated, one man’s role stands out, High Chief Higgins Peters.
If records do not fail us, High Chief Higgins Peters was not just another member of the team. He was, in fact, the natural leader of the delegation. He gave more than presence; he gave direction. He committed his time, his personal resources, and his wealth of experience to ensure that the Deputy Governor’s mission in the North was executed without hitch.
His involvement demonstrated what true leadership looks like, leadership not driven by titles or expectations, but by action and sacrifice. While others may have seen the tour as a routine political exercise, High Chief Higgins Peters approached it with seriousness, ensuring that no stone was left unturned in achieving success.
In a political space often dominated by those seeking visibility without responsibility, High Chief Higgins Peters proved that service still matters. His dedication to the process should not go unnoticed. It is a reminder that behind every successful outing lies the quiet but firm support of individuals who place the collective good above personal gain.
This is why he deserves commendation, not just for being part of the tour, but for being its backbone.
As Cross River State continues to navigate the path of growth and development under the leadership of the People First Governor, Senator Prince Bsssey Edet Otu, the example set by High Chief Higgins Peter points to a kind of leadership the state needs more of, selfless, dependable, and people-focused. If this spirit of service is sustained, there is no doubt he will continue to play an even greater role in shaping the future of the senatorial district and the state at large.
