They also endorsed him, alongside the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during the endorsement, the Paramount Ruler of Yala, Ogamode Eje Ipoule, described Senator Jarigbe as the divinely chosen leader of Cross River North at this time and urged the people to support him fully.
“Our son, Senator Jarigbe Agom, is our chosen leader. He is a man after God’s heart, just as David was anointed. He has performed creditably well, and we must do our best to return him to the Senate,” the monarch stated.
