Members of The Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) Rivers state chapter yesterday staged a protest at the Port Harcourt office of Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, to register their displeasure over some inconsistencies in the ongoing continuous voters registration exercise in the state.
Speaking on-behalf the body, the Mayor of Port Harcourt and the chairman of ALGON, Allwell Ihundah accused the commission of deliberately disenfranchising Rivers people from registering in the ongoing CRV. He charged the commission to decentralize the registration centers to ward level to avoid several complaints from the commission intern workers about server.
He stated that decentralising the registration will enhance the exercise, promising to help INEC in the area of security and other logistics adding that if the challenges are not addressed, members of ALGON will come back to protest at INEC office.
