The chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area, Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, yesterday, September 12, 2025, launched a campaign for voter registration awareness in the local government. The special event, which drew attendees from the Traditional Rulers, Market Union, Transport Union, religious bodies, women’s and youth associations, the Hausa community, political party faithful, and the general public, also had notable figures in attendance, including the State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Martins Chukwunweike; the executive chairman of Nkanu East Local Government Area who doubles as the state ALGON chairman, Dr. Sydney O. Edeh; former PDP state chairman, Hon. Vita Abba, OON; INEC officials; and past and present political office holders, among others.

Welcoming everyone at the event held at Adada House, Engr. Jude Asogwa highlighted the critical need for massive voter registration in the council area, citing the numerous benefits tied to it. These include its role as a basis for the creation of more political wards and local governments, and, most importantly, as a key determinant for state creation—which is vital as the people of Nsukka continue their push for Adada State. Additionally, a strong voter base will be crucial for the 2027 election to ensure the continuity of His Excellency, Barr. Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s good works in the state, among other derivable benefits. The council chairman further declared, "Making everyone within the required age to get their voter's card in Nsukka local government is now a project for my administration," stressing his administration's resolve to partner with INEC to ensure that every eligible person obtains a voter's card.

Educating the public on how to register, retrieve, or transfer to a new polling unit, the Resident Electoral Officer of INEC in charge of Nsukka Local Government Area, Mrs. Mercy Amaechi Okorie, spoke on the need for massive registration and the roles that various bodies, such as community leaders, religious bodies, and institutions, can play to assist the commission in ensuring high participation in the exercise. She stated that the commission is open from 8 AM to 4 PM every workday to attend to the people who come to their office for registration.

There was a question-and-answer session, and speeches were also delivered by leaders, political office holders, and traditional rulers, as well as by the State Chairman of the PDP, who admonished the people on the necessity of getting their PVCs for the continuation of the state governor’s ongoing projects.
