Solomon Etuk, the paramount ruler of Nsit Ubium local government area of Akwa Ibom State, have expressed fears that the lingering crisis trailing the decision may last longer.
A section of the Traditional Rulers’ Act was recently amended by the House of Assembly and hurriedly signed into law by Governor Umo Eno. But the counsel to the 13 monarchs, mostly of Annang extraction led by Barr Jumbo Uyo-Obong Udom, expressed misgivings at a press conference in Abak LGA yesterday. He lamented that the opposition of the commissioner to the plaintiff’s application for leave in order to explore amicable resolution of the crisis, was a thorn on the way forward for peace as canvased by the governor.
He said out of respect for the governor and in view of the limited period to the case in court, the monarchs had sought a middle ground and filed a motion for leave to explore settlement and for adjournment sine die, to enable parties to meet and explore settlement with the governor.
