Cross River State Governor, Ben AyadeThe Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District, Senator Jarigbe Agom, has denied being Governor Ben Ayade’s ‘boy’ as the governor allegedly claimed at a stakeholders’ meeting of the All Progressives Congress.
“He was asked not to run because he was a political neophyte and could not stand the storm of going against Sen Greg Ngaji. I took part in that House of Reps Primary election and it was skewed for Hon Gabe Edi. I came after Gabe in that primary election. Senator Jarigbe further stated, “At what point would I have been his boy, when I had already established a business in 1995 and bought my first car in 1996, during the military era? At that time, did Gov Ben Ayade own a bicycle? At what point did I become a boy to someone in my age bracket?
