He asked the house to briefly explain what exactly brought the dispute between the village Head and his subjects, then Elder Anietie Jacob mentioned in summary mentioned that it was "CHEATING" that brought all the disputes in the village.
According to our correspondence, comrade Godwin Ishmael Benson, the incumbent Youth president of Edem Idim Ibesit who is known by the God of heaven, gods of the land and as well as the people of Edem Idim Ibesit, stood up, addressed the house and pointed out one of the basic conditions to be fulfilled by Chief Aaron Jimmy Akpan, prior to peace-making in the village.

The youth chairman made it clear that he and his subjects has been alleged of cultism, ra**ng, stealing, etc. perhaps it's a unanimous agreement by the youths of Edem Idim Ibesit that chief Aaron Jimmy Akpan "must" bring the counter claims of these petitions and allegations during the next seating of the meeting and the counter claims must be duly endorsed by his barrister and himself to prove that all the petitions and allegations are countered if he wants the peace- making to hold.
