Pro-Jarigbe Team Slams OBO Movement in Cross River North Senatorial Dispute

Pro-Jarigbe Team Slams OBO Movement in Cross River North Senatorial Dispute

The political battle in Cross River North has intensified as Team Jari Media rejects the OBO Movement’s zoning claim. The pro-Jarigbe group brands the idea that the seat is reserved for Obudu, Bekwarra and Obanliku as “baseless” and links the movement to former Governor Ben Ayade and ex-Rep member Legor Idagbo. Team Jari Media insists zoning is a mere invention that violates candidates’ constitutional rights. They praise Senator Jarigbe as the people’s preferred choice and warn of legal action over defamatory “paymaster” allegations. Accusing rivals of unlawfully courting traditional rulers, the group challenges Ayade and Idagbo to test their popularity at the polls. The statement urges the public to dismiss the OBO Movement’s claims and reaffirms Senator Jarigbe’s readiness for the next election.

True, dismissing zoning could make some voters rethink loyalties, especially those valuing fairness.

Do you think dismissing those zoning claims could sway local youth turnout or leave them cold?

It's interesting that Team Jari Media explicitly ties the OBO Movement to former Governor Ayade instead of addressing the zoning rationale directly.

Baseless or not, isn't it possible the OBO camp raises genuine concerns about fair rotation across Obudu, Bekwarra and Obanliku?

Voter groups should track each candidate's stance on regional equity, then demand clear commitments on how zoning might influence future representation.
