HUNDREDS of members of the Chief Ralph Uwazurike –led Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday took to the streets in Awka, Anambra State and major roads in Warri, Delta State demanding immediate removal of the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega over alleged plan to rig the 2015 Nigerian general elections.

The group accused the INEC chairman of working for a Northern agenda to rig the coming presidential elections in favour of northern interests while also picking holes in dust being generated by uneven distribution of Permanent Voter Card.

Delta Zonal Leaders of MASSOB, Chief Joseph Odikpo who led the Jega-must-go demonstration said it is clear that Jega cannot give Nigeria credible elections by his recent actions and utterances
