(SINL NIGERIA) The senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Sen. Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe, has revealed that his exit from PDP followed months of internal crises and irreconcilable divisions that had crippled the party at the national and state levels.
Recall, Jarigbe dumped the party on Tuesday in a letter read at the plenary by the Deputy Senate President, Jibrin Barau who presided.
His words: “I rise to formally notify you and the distinguished leadership of the Senate of my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, on whose platform I was elected to represent the good people of Cross River North Senatorial District.
“The decision came after deep and thoughtful reflection on the current state of my former party.
“It is with regret that I note the persistent and deep-seated divisions and the deliberate factionalization at both the national and state levels as the primary reasons for my departure,” he stated.
Consequently, Jarigbe said that he decided to join the ruling party to continue to deliver effective representation to his constituents.
“In the light of the foregoing, and in the best interest of my constituents, I have chosen to join the All Progressives Congress” he remarked.
