On why the results of the election were not announced on time, the CROSIEC chairman attributed the delay to the difficult terrains across the State, especially long distance to the state capital and bad roads being responsible for the late announcement of the results.

Meanwhile, in a brief interview with the chairman-elect of Bakassi local government area, Effiong Okon, he pledged to prioritise the resettlement of his people in line with the Green Tree Agreement of 2006.
