Governor of Cross River State, Professor Ben Ayade, has promised that there will be a peaceful atmosphere for the 2023 elections in the state.
He made the promise on Tuesday while receiving the new Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr.Alalibo Johnson, to the state at the Conference Room of the Governor’s Office, Calabar.
He charged Johnson to conduct free, fair, and credible elections in the state, and that with the REC’s track records and integrity, he believed he would deliver.
The REC also disclosed that there were about 90,000 uncollected Permanent Voter Cards across the 18 local government areas of the state and appealed to the registrants to come forward and pick up their PVCs.
