Ex-Governor, Donald Duke has lamented the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroon, says he was not involved.

Duke said: “A few years ago at the heat of the Bakassi loss, I hosted Gen. Gowon in Calabar. I urged him to write his own story or someone will write it for him and he may not exactly like what would be told. According to him, he took the matter to then Prime Minister of Britain, Mr. Tony Blair who bluntly told him and his entourage that “To undo the agreement will be a terrible precedent,” saying the British PM revealed to them that other African countries will be affected by such a decision.

On the 76 oil wells that was ceded to Akwa Ibom State, Duke said: “It was during my time that we got the oil wells that was lost. That was a painful thing for all of us. I still think it should be remedied. In law, we have what is called double jeopardy; we lost the land and we also lost the assets.
