Activities have commenced in the Ogoja, Yala, and Akpabuyo local government area of Cross River State where the by-election for Ogoja/Yala Federal constituency and Akpabuyo State constituency is being conducted.
Our correspondents on the ground report that in some polling units accreditation and voting are about to begin while most are yet to arrive.
Polling unit 010, Okuku ward in Yala, materials just arrived and party agents are complaining of voters’ apathy.
An INEC Electoral Membership Board vehicle with registration number EMB 01M 56 CR breaks down along Igoli – Okuku road near the Brigadier Godwin Ally Cantonment of the Nigerian Army.
There is no spare tire in the vehicle and the driver has gone to look for a vulcanizer to fix it.
