In a heartwarming gesture to celebrate this year’s Children’s Day, Hon. Cyril Omini, the lawmaker representing Yakurr 1 State Constituency in the Cross River State House of Assembly, temporarily handed over his position to a 10-year-old girl named Treasure Ikpi Eyong .

 

The symbolic act was part of an initiative aimed at inspiring young minds and encouraging children’s participation in governance and leadership.

 

Treasure, a native of the constituency, assumed the honorary role of House Member for one day, a move that has been widely praised across social media and political circles.

The announcement was made by a public commentator, Eremi, who shared the news on social media, commending Hon. Omini’s visionary leadership.

 

“This is how Hon. Cyril Omini is celebrating Children’s Day — by allowing a 10-year-old Precious to become the Member representing Yakurr 1 for a single day,” Eremi wrote.

 

He further applauded Omini’s political achievements, suggesting the lawmaker’s performance places him on par with members of the House of Representatives and even senators.

 

“Dude was so prepared for leadership, and today he is miles ahead of his contemporaries,” Eremi noted. “Politically, Hon. Cyril Omini should be protected at all cost.”

 

The event not only honored Children’s Day but also spotlighted the importance of youth inclusion in democratic processes. Many have hailed it as a powerful example of mentorship and leadership development.
