The national commissioner in charge of information and voter education,

Okoye added that two resident electoral commissioners have been deployed to the state to guarantee the success of the elections.
He said: “The Commission will not bow to electoral violence and will not declare results procured through violence and resistance to the deployment of Smart Card Readers.
“We are ready and have deployed two resident electoral commissioners to Cross River to support the resident electoral commissioner here. The implication is that we have three RECs to conduct the elections.
“One REC will take charge of the Obudu State Constituency elections while the other one will take charge of the Senatorial elections.
“The REC, who is here will supervise all of them, the staff and deal with issues around security”, Okoye said.
On his part, the Cross River State Police Commissioner, Abdulkadir Jimoh, said the police is everywhere and adequate security will be provided during the elections.
CP Jimoh, who was respresented by DCP Okoro Julius, said; “7 mobile units are coming from different parts of the country in addition to two mobile units we have on ground.
