The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the collation centre for the Governorship and House of Assembly elections opened.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Gabriel Yomere, declared the collation centre opened late on Saturday.
The centre is located at the INEC Secretariat in Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
Yomere also used the opportunity to introduce Prof. Teddy Adies, the State Returning Officer for the election.
On his part, Adies said the collation of results at the state level was after each of the results had been announced at the Local Government level.
The Returning Officer, who is from the Federal University Otueke, Bayelsa State, asked if any LGA was ready with their results and since none was ready, he postponed the collation to 5pm on Sunday.
He said by then, many results would have come in for the collation to fully commence.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that members of Inter Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security in Cross River State witnessed the event.
