75,679,252
Controversies
There have been squabbles, claims and counterclaims, litigations, and intrigues by two Efik sons, Ekpo Abasi Otu V, who is on the throne, and Anthony Ani, former Minister of Finance. The battle between the two started soon after the demise and burial rites of the immediate past Obong, Professor Nta Elijah in 2008.
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
Ekpo Okon was selected and crowned the Obong. Ani rejected the process, declaring that it was the turn of the Ikoneto Royal House to produce the successor. He and his supporters approached a Cross River High Court in Calabar and after a protracted legal tussle, the court in 2012 dissolved the selection of Ekpo Abasi Otu and ordered a fresh selection exercise to be conducted.
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
In the process, Ekpo Okon emerged from Obong once again. This prompted Ani to head to Appeal Court, and in 2018, the Appeal Court quashed the process that brought Ekpo Okon and ordered another selection.
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
Etuboms Traditional Rulers Council excluded Ani in the new selection process, saying he was not “qualified” to contest. Ani headed to the Supreme Court, which, earlier this year ordered another selection process, now the third time. Still, the Etubom's sidetracked Ani, maintaining that, “he was not a capped Etubom in the Obong Council during the time of the selection in 2008”
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
“In the judgment, the Supreme Court affirmed the earlier judgment of the Court of Appeal in 2023, which found Ani as traditionally unfit and ineligible to vote or be voted for in matters concerning the stool of the Obong of Calàbar. The purported smuggling of his name into the contest as an aspirant to the revered Efik throne was vehemently frowned at and adjudged as contamination of the process.”
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
Cross River State Government which has been silent for the past 15 years, refusing to be drawn into the traditional tussle has now stepped in and the Kingship tussle has now been laid to rest with the declaration of Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi V, by the present Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu as the recognised Obong of Calabar.
Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V
75,679,252
Controversies
This was contained in a declarative statement by the governor, through his Chief Press Secretary in November 2023, stating that the government recognised Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V as the properly enthroned Obong of Calabar. The government further warned all interlopers, including a former Minister of Finance, Anthony Ani, to stop bickering as regards the throne.
