LG Polls:  Group Promises Violence-Free Election In Nsukka 

Speaker of Youths Assembly of Nigeria (YAN) Nsukka Local Government chapter Mr Godfirst Ezeugwu, says the assembly is sensitising members to ensure a violence-free council poll in Enugu State on February 29.
Ezeugwu told journalists in Nsukka yesterday that during YAN meetings, members were advised to conduct themselves in orderly manner before, during and after the local government election.
“Members are advised to avoid actions and utterances that will create tension or cause violence during the Feb. 29, Local Government poll in the state.
“We are also mobilising and encouraging our members to come out en masse to vote for chairmanship and chancellorship candidates of their choice.
“Members are also advised, not to allow any politician to use them  as political thugs to create violence or commit any electoral fraud,’’ he said.
He urged Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission (ENSIEC), security agencies and political parties to ensure that the council poll was credible, free and fair.
“YAN is a non-political organisation with its members cut across all political parties. Our belief is that best candidates that have the mandate of the electorates should emerge victorious in every election,’’ he said.
The YAN speaker, applauded the performance of Transition Committee Chairman of Nsukka LGA, Mrs Chinwe Ugwu, whom he said had impacted positively on residents within a short time she assumed office.
