The Court of Appeal in Calabar has declared Hon. Jarigbe Agom the duly elected Senator for Cross River North.

It declared him the lawful candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the December 5, 2020 By-election for the seat.

The three-man Appeal Tribunal headed by Hon. Justice Chioma I. Nwosu also invalidated the certificate of return earlier issued to Steven Odey by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC and directed it should be withdrawn.
