Opinion: Oden Ewa is well-raised, cultivated, and urbane—a true gentleman

By Chief Okoi Obono-Obla

I am delighted that Hon. Oden Ewa, the Honourable Commissioner for Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, is gaining significant recognition. In addition to his current role, he also serves as the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Cross River State Green Economy Council, cementing his status as a rising star in Cross River State.

Hon. Oden Ewa comes from an esteemed background. His father, Professor Ibiang Oden Ewa, is a distinguished academic, and his wife hails from the Cross River Southern Senatorial District. He is well-raised, cultivated, and urbane—a true gentleman.

It’s satisfying to see that his growing influence has unsettled certain vested political interests in the Central Senatorial District. These detractors, reportedly recruiting social media trolls, particularly from Obudu Local Government Area, aim to rattle him. However, Hon. Oden Ewa remains unshaken—steadfast and solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

Undoubtedly, he is a figure to watch closely as we approach 2027.
