What is going on in the Senate, in the case of Stephen Odey and Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe, is an illegality taken too far. The Senate President is wrong and should retrace his steps to avoid bringing the institution of the legislature to disrepute.
It is obvious that from the judgements of the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court that Stephen Odey is no longer the senator Representing Cross River North, in the Senate.
It is a known fact that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has obeyed the judgement of courts and issued a Certificate of Return to Rt. Hon. Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe (MHR), which automatically invalidates the Certificate of Return earlier issued to Stephen Odey, after the by-election.

The Supreme Court has struck out the appeal bordering on the internal crisis of the Cross River State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) bordering on the wards and local government chapters held by the Governor Ben Ayade’s faction of the party for lacking in merit.
The Supreme court in a unanimous decision affirmed the authenticity of the party executive in the state, and the list of delegates that produced Hon Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe as the authentic candidate of PDP in the December 5, 2020 by-election for cross river north senatorial seat.
A faction of the party loyal to governor Ben Ayade had approached the Supreme Court to upturn an earlier decision of an Appeal court which affirmed the present executive of the party in the state as the authentic leadership.
