From Aniekan Aniekan, Calabar
Pathfinder 4 Unity, a socio – political group has warned contestants within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the position of Senate Minority Leader not to put a rift between the former governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike and the Senator representing Northern Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Jarigbe Agom Jarigbe.
Convener of the group, Elder Athur Etta who spoke on its behalf, advised those interested in the position to be circumspect in what they dish out to the public.
He noted that the former Governor of River State and the Senator representing Cross River North share a special relationship and those attempting to cause disaffection between the two because of political position would only end up being consumed.
The Pathfinder 4 Unity explained that although Senator Jarigbe is qualified for the said position, he has decided against joining the race despite several attempts to lure him to.
It further noted that the relationship shared by the two has always been to ensure the promotion of good governance in South South and the country as a whole.
“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 group insisted.
