The President General, Akwa Ibom State Traditional Rulers Council Ntenyin Solomon Etuk, stated this while fielding questions from newsmen on Friday.
He said that the traditional institution in the state was in support of the mapping of the state and advised those kicking against the move to shun actions capable of igniting unnecessary tension in the state.
He said “We are 100 per cent in support of what the House of Assembly has done. How could a community remain without demarcating, knowing its boundaries? “How can you live without knowing your boundaries? “So we are very much in support of the initiative. We are in 100% support of what the government is doing”.
“But I believe strongly that, if they look deep down, they will know that what Governor Udom Emmanuel has done is marvellous. They have not seen it today, but they will see it tomorrow,” he said.All rights reserved.
