Youths from Ibeno Local Government Area, in their thousands, over the weekend celebrated the appointment of the Paramount Ruler of Ibeno, His Royal Majesty Effiong Bassey Archianga as the Chairman of Akwa Ibom State Council of Chiefs. 

The gathering which was organized by the Obong Mkparawa 1 of Ibeno, Chief Friday Ebong drew youths of the area from across the State, the United States of America and the United Kingdom. 

Speaking to newsmen after the event, the organizer Chief Friday Obong said the celebration became necessary because it was the first time an Ibeno Monarch will attain the position of Chairman Akwa Ibom State Council of Chiefs in the past 28 years since the creation of the State. 
The youth leader thanked the State Governor, Deacon Udom Emmanuel for the appointment and pledged the unalloyed loyalty of youths of the area to his administration, adding that Ibeno voted massively for the Governor and the People Democratic Party (PDP) during the just concluded general election and will continue to defend the mandate anytime any day. 

Chief Ebong congratulated the Royal Father for the appointment and wished him good health, long life and divine wisdom throughout his tenure as Chairman State Council of Chief and even beyond.
He averred that the Paramount Ruler of Ibeno has empowered many youths of the area in various ways through his personal efforts and that Ibeno has witnessed absolute peace since his emergence as Paramount Ruler of the Area. 

Chief Ebong who is also the Youth Leader Akwa Ibom Consolidation Alliance, Ibeno Chapter, described the Royal Father as an epitome of peace, humility and sincerity. 

“Our Paramount Ruler has endeared himself into the hearts of the youths and people of Ibeno because of his peaceful disposition, humility and sincerity. Each time the youths may want to confront Mobil for one dereliction or another, the Paramount Ruler will always intervene and call for dialogue”, Ebong said. 

Earlier during the event, Chief Ebong had called on the youths to embrace the DAKKADA philosophy of governor Udom’s administration, stressing that the State will became a model in Nigeria in a very near future if every citizen arises to his or her responsibility. 

“If we arise to our responsibilities as good citizens of Nigeria in our ways of life, the State will become a model in Nigeria because our social and Political institutions will work effectively”, he said.
