C' River APC Chairman Welcomes Sen Jarigbe To Ruling Party, Calls For Wider Consultations
CROSS RIVER state chairman, Alphonsus Eba, Esq, has welcomed Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), advising party members to guard against negative comments that could bring disunity.
Sen. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, Senator representing the good people of Cross River North, had on October 22, 2025 visited President Bola Tinubu in Also Rock to intimate him of his defection to the ruling party.
Jarigbe during the visit to residence of Eba on Tuesday in Abuja, said his mission was to intimate me of his intention to join us in the APC and strengthen the party with the objective of building a united APC in Cross River Northern Senatorial District and the State at large.
In his official Facebook page, Eba said: "During the visit, Sen Jarigbe "informed me of his earlier visits to both President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR and our Governor, H. E. Apostle Sen. Prince Bassey Otu to intimate them of same intention.
"As Chairman of the Ruling party APC, I welcomed him to my house and into the party as part of my political evangelical mission. I informed him that the APC is like a church and our doors are opened to everyone provided you abide by our rules and regulations.
"I took the opportunity to correct the false narrative being peddled by some persons that the Distinguished Senator was not welcomed by APC party leadership and stakeholders.
"I encouraged him to consult widely with the party leadership and critical stakeholders at the ward, chapter and state level to build cohesive political congeniality that engenders our core values of Peace, Love, Unity and Growth ( PLUG ) which is the pivot of my political evangelism and the nucleus of the fundamental objectives and directive principles of our administration.
"I wish to use this medium to appeal to all party faithful to avoid comments that breeds disunity.
"Once again, Sen. Jarigbe and everyone who is still in opposition but intends to join the APC is welcomed and I urge all ward chairmen to open the register of the party to enable everyone register pending our E registration exercise.
"Our focus on building a strong, united and indivisible party is for the common good of everyone."
