CultureRe: Who Are The Agbo (Legbo) People Of Cross River State? by asoreval: 10:24pm On Sep 25, 2016
Agbo communities in Cross River State.
Agbo communities are made of four major autonomous communities, Ekureku, Itigidi, Adadama and Igbo Imabana. All of these communities are independently located at distance areas within ABI local government area. The four communities share common custom and traditions, The language of this people is LEGBO language which is heard across board but slight differences.there may be some similarities with ibos culture thus to close boundaries along the divide of Ebonyi state but there no historical relationship as per migration.
Legbo language is well known in Cross River State and widely spoken in Cross River central senatorial district, prominent Cross Riverians are indigene of Agbo communities, e.g. former Governor Liyel Imoke, former finance minister eastern region Dr.Samuel Imoke, former chief of staff to Cross River State government Dr Egbonna Alex, the current Speaker Cross River house of assembly, Hon. John Gaul Lebo and many more I can't remember to mention.
