The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr Nnamdi Kanu has said that it is not true that he has shelved his stand to boycott Anambra governorship election.
Kanu was at Ekwulobia on Sunday to show solidarity with the people, who lost one of its members in a conflict between the members of IPOB and police personnel who had converged on a primary school to welcome Kanu who later failed to make the visit.
Emma Powerful, media and publicity secretary of the group in a press release said, “Our mission to Ekwulobia is to sensitize Biafrans to know the reason why it is necessary to boycott Anambra Election and other subsequent elections in Biafranland and to tell the world that election boycott stands.
“We refute the rumors going round now that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have withdrawn the order IPOB gave against Anambra gubernatorial election on November 18th 2017. IPOB order of ‘no election’ remain unless Nigerian Government give us date for referendum, we are not calling for war.”
Kanu said the group was not at Ekwulobia to play Nigeria politics, rather to show the whole world how serious and determined they were towards the restoration of Biafra independence.
