Voters Registration: MASSOB alleges plot to disenfranchise Ndigbo

Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday, alleged that some of the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, have perfected plans to deprive Ndigbo from getting registered in the ongoing voters registration exercise.

MASSOB made this  claim in a statement in Owerri  signed by its National Secretary, Mr Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke.

According to the release, “the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, raises grave concerns over the ongoing voters registration exercise in Igboland where Ndigbo are being frustrated and disenfranchised by the staff of INEC.

“This activity of INEC officials is one of the major reasons why MASSOB may not support the conduct of general elections of 2019 in Biafraland.” According to the release,

“reports gathered by MASSOB  intelligence  proves that INEC has started the process of rigging and doctoring the incoming elections to favour the interest of Hausa-Fulani.

“Last week at Aguata, MASSOB witnessed indiscriminate acts of INEC officials  at a remote location in Ekwuluobia.

“MASSOB saw a lot of young people hanging around but they were not registering.We were informed that INEC said they can’t register because they were 18 years  at the point of the last registration in 2014 but they did not register.

“MASSOB sees this condition as a smooth way to disenfranchise the people of Eastern region in the coming elections.”
