ENUGU— THE Nsukka Democratic Awareness Forum, NDAF, yesterday, called on President Gooduck Jonathan to direct the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega, to conduct proper voter’s registration in the state.

According to the group, the essence is to ensure that the people of Enugu North (Nsukka) senatorial zone are not disenfranchised in future elections.

It also demanded the immediate removal of the state Resident Electoral Commission, Dr. Lawrence Azubuike, for allegedly failing to meet the expectations of the people in the voter’s registration.

It noted that Enugu North, which is one of the largest populated areas in the country, had suffered neglect in terms of the number and quality of federal and state appointments in recent years.

“We, the Enugu North People, are feeling marginalised and that the tragedy of the lost voters register has compounded our woes,” Eze Williams Ezugwu, Eze Ogbozara III of Opi Kingdom, said at a news briefing, yesterday.

He said every strategy to enfranchise the zone was being applied, knowing full well that the zone was currently agitating for the governorship position of the state come 2015.
