A member of the National Assembly, Senator Stephen Odey, has disclosed that the Supreme Court did not sack him as the senator representing Cross River North in the Senate.
In an open letter to the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, a legal luminary, Mr. Omang Omang, had urged the Senate president to stop the current occupant of the Cross River North senatorial seat, Dr. Stephen Odey, from attending plenary on the grounds that the apex court has ruled that Hon Jarigbe Agom is the authentic winner of the seat.
Speaking yesterday while playing host to some of his constituents, Odey cleared the air on the apex court ruling, saying the Supreme Courtâs ruling never and did not invalidate his seat as a senator.

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.
