The committee, chaired by Eko Alobo, had been constituted by the occasion in Cross River State as a part of preparations forward of its upcoming primaries.

The inauguration was scheduled to happen on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at an occasion centre positioned alongside Marian Highway by 10:00 a.m.

Nevertheless, a group of cellular law enforcement officials reportedly arrived on the venue as early as 7:00 a.m. and cordoned off the premises, stopping occasion members and organisers from accessing the power.

Sources near the safety personnel disclosed that the motion was taken following directions linked to a petition allegedly submitted by some members of the occasion.

Makes an attempt by occasion stakeholders to resolve the state of affairs didn’t instantly yield outcomes.

In the meantime, outstanding ADC leaders, together with the occasion’s South-South Zonal Vice Chairman, Dr Usani Uguru Usani, and former Speaker of the Cross River State Home of Meeting, Rt. Hon. Bassey Eko Ewa, reportedly met with the Commissioner of Police in a bid to handle the event.

Following the standoff, organisers relocated the assembly to the residence of Dr Usani Usani, the place numerous occasion supporters and stakeholders later gathered.
