Local government council and ward elections are scheduled for this weekend, November 2, 2024, in Cross River State.

The state commissioner of police, CP Gryogon Augustine Grimah, has assured a peaceful conduct of both elections.

Addressing journalists shortly after the state security meeting presided over by the governor, Senator Prince Edet Otu, Grimah assured citizens that the environment would be conducive for all to exercise their franchise.

Grimah, who was posted out to Kaduna State and replaced by another CP Opara but reinstated after a week, stated that all relevant security agencies in the state have fully deployed their resources to guarantee the safety of citizens and maintain law and order during the elections.

He urged the electorate to embrace the prevailing peaceful atmosphere in the state and come out to vote on election day.
