Former senatorial aspirant, John Onyi Agaba, has reaffirmed his loyalty to the All Progressives Congress (APC) while throwing his weight behind Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Agaba made the declaration when Jarigbe paid him a courtesy visit at his Abuja residence, in a meeting described as cordial, mature and brotherly.
Jarigbe is the incumbent Senator representing Cross River North and has secured the APC ticket for the 2027 senatorial race.
Speaking during the visit, Agaba said his political stance remains clear and unwavering.
“My position is clear. I remain fully committed and loyal to the APC in Cross River State. At the same time, I am throwing my full support behind Senator Jarigbe. His visit demonstrates that politics should be practised with maturity, respect and brotherhood beyond unnecessary divisions,” Agaba stated.
He noted that while political aspirations may differ, leaders must maintain meaningful relationships and engage constructively for the peace, unity and development of Cross River State.
He added that his political journey has always been driven by a desire to contribute to the growth of the state and the welfare of its people.
Agaba thanked Jarigbe for the visit, describing it as a demonstration that mutual respect and personal relationships can coexist with political engagement.
In his response, Jarigbe thanked Agaba for his warm reception and open-hearted disposition, describing him as a respected leader and a key stakeholder whose support is invaluable to the APC family in Cross River North.
