IN a colorful ceremony, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), has been installed as the Ada Idaha Ke Efik Eburutu by the Obong of Calabar and Grand Patriarch of Efik Eburutu kingdom, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V.
Ozekhome’s new chieftaincy title means pillar of strength of Efik Kingdom. Already, he is known for speaking out against injustice and abuse of office by both political and circular officeholders. So the title appears befitting for what he stands for as a human rights and constitutional lawyer.
Although the ceremony took place on September 25 at Obong’s palace, the notice of conferment, which was contained in a letter signed by the Chairman, Etubom Traditional Council, HRH Etubom Basset Oko Bassey, on behalf of the palace of the Obong of Calabar, had been made available to the public since last month.
