Before Saturday's governorship election, the Young Progressives Party (YPP)'s deputy governorship candidate in Cross River State, Prince Agbor Onyi, has been kidnapped.

“The depressing news that our Deputy Governorship candidate, Prince Agbor Onyi, has been kidnapped has shocked us to our core.
“The party is devastated by the timing of this criminal act, which is a very serious concern for us all. As a result, we appeal to the Nigerian Police and all other security agencies to act quickly and unexpectedly.
The statement continued, "We demand that our Deputy Governorship candidate be released from the kidnappers' den immediately to enable him to proceed to his community to perform his civic duty tomorrow."
