Some aggrieved women groups under the umbrella of Iban Isong Efik Association have condemned what they described as “illegal disqualification” of Justice Akon Ikpeme as the Chief Judge of Cross River by the state House of Assembly.
The groups lamented: “As women from different parts of Nigeria but bound together by our love for Calabar and many years of co-existence, the Mbono Iban, for all intents and purposes, see and know that Akon Ikpeme is a woman of Odukpani LGA origin in Cross River State. We reject all spurious attempts to dissociate her from her husband of over 30 years and her four children who are fully part and parcel of the Efik ethnic extraction.
The agitators wondered why Ikpeme, who was born and married to an Efik man, would be treated as a displaced refugee.
