Senator representing Cross River North, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, has dismissed claims of rivalry with Governor Bassey Otu, insisting that he is not in any form of competition with the governor.
In a strongly worded statement made available to Vanguard, the lawmaker accused unnamed individuals of using fake media accounts to create discord between him and the governor.
He warned those behind the alleged campaign to stop dragging his name into what he described as a smear effort against the state chief executive.
