Senator Jarigbe Agom Defects to APC, Meets President Tinubu in Major Political Realignment

Senator Jarigbe Agom of Cross River North Senatorial District has officially defected from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). He met with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, alongside Senator Godswil Akpabio.

This defection is expected to strengthen APC's presence in the South-South region and is viewed as a strategic move to align with the administration's policies and economic reforms. The move follows consultations with top APC figures and is seen as a setback for the opposition in Cross River State.
