Political Storm Brews in Cross River North Ahead of 2027 Elections

The political landscape in Cross River North is heating up as former Governor Prof. Ben Ayade aims to reclaim the senatorial seat lost in 2023 to Sen. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe. Ayade's renewed interest in the seat has stirred controversy, especially after Jarigbe's recent defection to the APC.

The rivalry between the two politicians dates back to the 2020 elections, where Jarigbe emerged victorious after a court battle. The power struggle and defections are setting the stage for a fierce political showdown in the upcoming 2027 elections.
