Senator Jarigbe Steps Back Due to Health, Postpones Rally
Senator Agom Jarigbe, the distinguished representative for Cross River North Senatorial District in Nigeria's National Assembly, has announced a temporary hiatus from his official duties, citing significant health concerns.
In a statement released on Monday, July 1, 2025, Senator Jarigbe confirmed he is currently undergoing medical treatment. Following the advice of his doctors, he will be away from his legislative and constituency engagements for a brief period. This decision has directly led to the postponement of a much-anticipated endorsement rally that was scheduled to take place in the coming days.
"Necessary Pause" for Swift Recovery
Emphasizing the importance of his well-being for effective representation, Senator Jarigbe stated, "This is a necessary pause, and I am having proper medical attention. God willing, I expect to fully resume my responsibilities within the next two weeks or even sooner." He expressed optimism for a rapid recovery, assuring his constituents of his commitment to returning to his duties at full strength.
The Senator also took the opportunity to extend his gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and support from his constituents. He clarified that the decision to suspend the rally was made to ensure he could fully engage with the people of Cross River North when he is in optimal health.
A Call for Compassion Over Politics
In a poignant appeal, Senator Jarigbe highlighted the universal nature of health challenges. "No mortal is immune to health challenges. This moment reminds us of the fragile nature of life and the need for compassion," he remarked. He strongly urged the public to resist the temptation of politically exploiting his health condition for ridicule, emphasizing the importance of preserving "our shared sense of humanity in the name of politics."
Senator Jarigbe reassured the public of his unwavering dedication to the development of his senatorial district and pledged to return soon to continue his work. He further advised any constituents requiring urgent healthcare assistance to reach out to his constituency office in his absence.
