Jarigbe Agom has been declared as the duly elected Senator for Cross River North by the Court of Appeal in Calabar, the state capital.
The three-man Appeal Tribunal headed by Justice Chioma I. Nwosu declared him the lawful candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the December 5, 2020 By-election for the seat.
The certificate of return earlier issued to Steven Odey by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been withdrawn.

Odey in April said a recent judgement by the Supreme Court on the Cross River North senatorial seat did not sack him as a senator.
He, therefore, vowed not to vacate his seat, saying the Supreme Court didn’t declare it vacant.
Odey and Agom belong to the same political party – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but they have both claimed to be the elected Senator representing Cross River North District.
