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. "Last week at Aguata, MASSOB witnessed indiscriminate acts of INEC officials at a remote location in Ekwuluobia. "MASSOB sees this condition as a smooth way to disenfranchise the people of Eastern region in the coming elections."
