July 02, (THEWILL) – The Pathfinder 4 Unity, a socio-political group, has debunked claims of a rift between the former governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike and Senator representing Cross River North in the National Assembly, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe.
The group appealed to members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), interested in the position, not to use their ambition to put a wedge between the duo.
In a statement made available in Calabar, the convener of the group, Elder Athur Etta, also advised those interested in the position to be circumspect in what they dish out to the public.
“Our attention has been drawn to a publication in some online media platforms, misrepresenting the facts contained in the interview granted by Senator Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, on the Minority Leadership Position of the 10th Senate.
“He (Jarigbe) has made his position known on the matter that he is not interested, and that no one has consulted him on the position.
“Our advice remains that anyone interested in that position to make known their attention and stop the blackmailing.
“We want to also admonish them to open consultation with the relevant people and not those who will not add value to their ambition and to also stop further campaign of calumny against the person of our beloved Sen. Jarigbe Agom-Jarigbe.
“Let us be reminded that the Senate is not a kindergarten. It is for “Men” not “sycophants.”
The Pathfinder 4 Unity also posited that Agom-Jarigbe, who is qualified for the said position, has made his intention clear that he is not interested in-spite of several attempts to lure him to.
It further noted that the relationship shared by the two have always been to ensure the promotion of good governance in South-South and the country as a whole.
