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.
