The Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu has appointed the Paramount Ruler of Abi Local Government Area, His Royal Majesty Ovai (Elder) Solomon Osim Edward JP, as the new State Council of Chiefs Chairman.
HRM, Ovai Solomon will replace the former chairman, the Paramount of Bakassi HRH, Etinyin Edet Okon who was sacked by the State House of Assembly.
