Chairmen and councilors of the eight Local Government Areas in the state have been directed to be at their respective councils and ensure house to house mobilisation of prospective voters to register in the on-going voters registration exercise in the state.
The Commissioner for Local Government Administration, Chief Mitema Obordor gave the directive while speaking with newsmen in his office in Yenagoa.
Chief Mitema Obordor, who described effective mobilisation of citizenry to register in the voters’ exercise as the bedrock of democratic governance, said the only way to correct the impression that Bayelsa state has the least number of voters is to ensure that all eligible voters are captured in the exercise.
He called on community leaders, community development committees, youth groups and other stakeholders to ensure that everyone above eighteen in there localities participate fully.
The commissioner, who disclosed that by Independent Electoral Commissions, INEC, directives any voting unit with less than 50 voters run the risk of been scrapped said it is the duty of all to ensure that the actual numbers of voters are registered to prevent such unhealthy development.
