The apex court in the land, the Supreme Court has declared Rt. Hon Jarigbe Agom, Winner of the PDP CRnorth Senatorial bye-election primary.
The judgment was delivered today, February 25th, 2021.
This has put to permanent rest the controversy of who is the authentic senator representing Cross River Northern senatorial district.
The FCT High Court and the Court of Appeal had declared Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom winner of the CR North primary election.
Dissatisfied with the ruling of the court of Appeal and the trial court, Dr. Stephen Odey approached the Supreme claiming that he was the legitimate winner of the primaries.
Delivering the judgment, four out the seven man panel, gave judgement in favour of Sen. Jarigbe Agom while three backed Dr. Stephen Odey.
In telephone chat with The Lumine News, Prince K J Agba congratulated Sen. Jarigbe Agom for his dogged disposition to resit the attempt of foisting someone on the good people of northern senatorial district and described the ruling as victory for the people.
