Some Legitimate Etuboms of the Palace of the Obong of Calabar have kicked against the purported selection process that produced Etubom Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu who was dethroned by the decisions of the Supreme Court in Appeal No: SC.633/2013-Etubom Anthony A. Ani & Ors v. Etubom Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu & Ors and Appeal No.: SC.634/2013-Etubom Anthony A. Ani & Ors v. Etubom Essien Ekpeyong Efiok & Ors.
In a statement jointly signed by three (3) of the
Legitimate Etuboms on behalf of the Etubom’s Traditional Council, the Etuboms stated clearly that all those who took part in the selection process were not qualified ab ignitio to take part in the process.
The traditional rulers in their statement urged the State Governor to intervene in the matter to forestall a breakdown of Law and order and ensure the unbiased implementation of the Decisions of the Supreme Court.
The Full Press Statement is attached below.
