My dear Cross Riverians,
I am dismayed by the incidents of the last few days in Calabar and its environs. I understand and share the pain and frustration anchored on a desire for good governance.
I appeal for peace and calm among the people and now urge the government to address the issues raised by the people.
Calabar is our home and it is our duty to build, preserve and protect it.
Signed
Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V,
The Obong of Calabar and Grand Patriarch of Efik Nation
