Tension in Cross River State as Fulani Turban Emir In Calabar Despite Several Warnings From Govt. The purported appointment of an Emir and the creation of an emirate on Calabar, the Cross River State capital, has drawn the ire of the state government and the people of the state.

During the last Sallah festival in Calabar, the recently coronated head of the Hausa/Fulani community in the state capital, Alhaji Garba Lawan, younger brother of the deceased one, was addressed and hailed as the Emir of Calabar and paraded as such. There were increasing social media proclamations of the reported ‘appointment’, thereby attracting comments from people who claimed the territory of northern Nigeria extends into the Atlantic Ocean.
The action received very serious criticisms from local kingmakers, residents, traditional chieftains, and politicians.

Threatened by the action, the state government summoned the leadership of the Hausa/Fulani communities in the state to the governor’s office, where they were told in very strong terms to immediately abolish the title and refrain from the plots to create an emirate in Calabar.
Addressing the leaders on Tuesday, July 26, 2022, Permanent Secretary of Special Services, Governor’s Office, Sir Alfred Mboto said, “On no account should any member of the public address any Hausa/Fulani leader as “Emir” in Cross River State.
"This is not acceptable in the state. The state has been known forpeace and tranquillity, accomodating and uniting all ethnic nationalities
who live in the state.”
The government warned that no leader of the Hausa/Fulani community should be addressed as Emir, or be seen with palace guards. They also warned that “No leader of the Hausa/Fulani community should be seen with men with swords. “The leadership of the Hausa/Fulani community must report to the State Government any illegal activities around its environs.”

That's the right thing to do

Give them chance , they will be looking for allowance. Don't allow that to happen.
this was how they conquered Kwara state that used to be Yoruba state

Immediately o, because e no dey hard Dem to forcefully attack and occupy. I prefer sarkin Fulani in calabar than emir of calabar

Monitor them closely. They no dey listen. They believe they own the whole country.

This foollani people don de get mind o. I blame the governor of cross river for joining APC, it made them think that they can do anything they want to do in Biafraland.

No fooolllani terrorist Emir or rubbish in Biafra land.

Seems like you just want power to fall back to north, not that you trust those aspirants

Chaii.. See aboki with nonsense.

I've always wanted to say this but I thought I might be overreacting. Hausa people have basically taken over Calabar municipal. Everywhere you look in the municipal, you'll see them. I thought it was very odd. I have never seen so much Hausas in Calabar before or maybe they have always been there but I rarely go out so I just noticed them.

Is it like this in other states?

They are even more than the Igbos in Watt market (largest market in calabar).
