Major tribes are Kuteb, Ichen, Kpanzon, Tiv, Chamba and Hausa,[citation needed] Takum is under the Traditional leadership of the Ukwe Takum dating back to the 16th century.

THE UKWE

The Ukwe is the Supreme Head of the Kutebland. In the proceeds of time as already ordain by KUTEB himself, this position is reserved for the Likam and Akente, which eventually appears that the value attached to seniority in Kuteb culture accounts for the retention of certain superiority by the Likam, and Akente the next most senior and neighbouring clan to Likam by being the source of the two royal families of Takum for the stool of Ukwe Takum. Even in modern Politics and Government, the seniority factor among the Kutebs still accounts for the need to consult the elders before final decisions are taken and acted upon.

Where did you get this list from?

From the book authored by Pa Said such names weren't mentioned rather he started with Ukwe Ahamadu.
