Cross River South Senatorial District

Cross River South Senatorial District is in Cross River State, Nigeria.[1] It covers seven local governments areas of the state.[2] Gershom Bassey of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is the current senator representing the Cross River South Senatorial District at Nigerian senate assembly.[3][4][5] On 24 May 2020, the Nigerian Navy arrested 42 suspected cultists during initiation at Akpabuyo LGA in Cross River South Senatorial District.[6]

In early 2020, some persons from the Cross Rivers State senatorial district, under the aegis of Cross River South Stakeholders Group and headed by High Chief Ita Ewa Henshaw, tried to recall the Senator representing the district by writing a petition of recall to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The petition generated a lot of controversy but failed in its intended purpose.[7]

gollark: You can't really ensure they terminate *and* allow IO and the language's full power.

gollark: Some sort of mesh networking would make more sense than everything having expensive hardware to communicate with a faraway tower, for that.
