The lawmaker representing the Cross River North senatorial district, Senator Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe, has debunked stories that some former governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are projecting him for the post of Senate Minority Leader.
The lawmaker, who spoke in an interview with Arise Television on Friday, maintained that, though he is qualified for the position, he has never indicated interest.
He said: “I saw in the newspaper that the G5 governors were projecting me for the position of Senate Minority Leader of the 10th Senate. That story is unfounded. I have never indicated an interest in the position, though I’m qualified.
“I have been elected to the National Assembly four times, two times as a House of Reps member and twice as a senator.
“I have never had any discussion with any member of the G-5. The only person I spoke with was the immediate past governor of Rivers State, and he has not mentioned that to me.”
