Breaking news: Former Cross River governor, Donald Etiebet is dead

A family source has confirmed to Think Akwa Ibom! that the former governor of the then Cross River State, Chief Donald Dick Etiebet is dead. He died in the evening of Wednesday after a protracted illness. He was 81 years.

Late Etiebet, from Oruk Anam Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, was elected under the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) to succeed Dr. Clement Isong in 1983 as governor of old Cross River State, a position he had held for only three months before the military coup that brought General Muhammadu Buhari into power.
Late Etiebet is the older brother to Atuekong Donatus (aka ‘Don’) Etiebet, a former minister of petroleum.
