The Etara/Ekuri Clan, a suburb of Etung Local Government
Area, littoral Cross River State had in the past three years suffered
hiccups due to leadership indifferences that ensued within the hierarchy
structures upon the demise of the then Clan head.
This power tussle had left the community bare in
leadership for that long which also affected their economic and social input in
the society at large.
Amidst the diverseness of
interest, the communities have remained civic, maintaining high level of
patriotism and modesty.
Considering the economic and
political setbacks these sort of disagreements could cause, the Honourable
Commissioner for Youth and Sports CRS Comr. Asu Oku Okang, who hails paternally
from Etara community steps in to redress and constitute a clan leadership via
consensus of Elders in council.
In his own style of deportment
and high sense of repackaging and Branding, he embellished all the family heads
from the two communities with royal regalia to project Kingship and boost their
esteems.
The women in various categories
were also dressed to reflect the ambience of Augustness.
While addressing the media, the
Honourable Commissioner Stated, "This is not a show off please, but while
we are busy discharging our duties, we should also remember the philosophy of
our Principal HE Sen. Prof. Ayade Benedict about giving. These people deserve to be
taken care of and I will not sleep until they are liberated from the present
condition of things".
The community applauded his
wisdom and pragmatic approach in settling the dispute which had left them
vulnerable for too long and in appreciation thanked him for his beneficence and
stewardship to the clan.
