A concerned native of Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State, Mr Simon Okechukwu, weekend, called on the federal government, through the Independent National Electoral Commission, to unbundle the two state constituencies of the LGA which were merged in 1999.
Okechukwu, who spoke with THE WHISTLER, alleged that the merging of the two state constituencies amounted to injustice and deprivation.
He mentioned them as Uzo-Uwani South Constituency and Uzo-Uwani North Constituency.
The continued merging of the two constituencies has left many communities underserved, and it is time for that to change.”
