Clement David Ebri was elected Governor of Cross River state under the platform of national Republican Convention, NRC, and served between January 1992 and November 17, 1993. He was forced out of office after the military coup that brought General Sani Abacha to power.
Ebri contested the All Peoples Party, APP, to become their candidate for Cross River state governor in the 1999 elections after the return to democracy, but came second. He was chairman of the Presidential Review Committee to examine the 1999 constitution, which made its report in 2001.
