WAEC’s relocation to Uyo painful reminder of effect of chaos – Arc Ndem

The relocation of the sub-office of the West African Examination Council (WAEC) from Calabar to Uyo in Akwa Ibom has been described as a painful effect of chaos.

A former Commissioner for Lands in Cross River, Architect Bassey Ndem said this in a press statement in Calabar today.

Ndem was reacting to the relocation of WAEC to Uyo following the vandalisation and burning down of its office in Calabar by suspected hoodlums who paraded as the #EndSARS protesters.

The architect who was presently one of the king makers in the palace of the Obong of Calabar, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V, said the sad events of October 23 and 24 had left any true citizen of Cross River in utter shock and despair.

According to him, what started as a commendable #EndSARS protest that showed the finest spirit of Nigerian youths and what this country can be, was hijacked by agents of darkness and twisted into an unprecedented descent into anarchy.

Ndem condemned what he termed the sensational headlines in the media, insinuating that the Obong of Calabar called for the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Cross River and its replacement with an illegal interim government.

He however, thanked the security operatives who gallantly responded with restraint and everyone who put his or herself in harm’s way by confronting the marauders and protecting some public and private properties.
