Senator Jarigbe Jarigbe, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), representing Cross River Northern Senatorial District in the National Assembly, has defeated former Governor Ben Ayade of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the election petition tribunal in Calabar.
Giving the judgement on Saturday, a three-man tribunal of justices, headed by Justice Mohammed Sambo, in a unanimous decision, upheld Mr Jarigbe’s election.
Delivering judgement, Mr Sambo noted that the assertions of irregularities presented to the tribunal by the petitioner were not backed by documentary evidence.
