2023: We are not interested in Nigerian election, no-sit-at-home - IPOB

By Nweke Tony, Abuja

Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), reiterated Thursday, that  it is not interested in the Nigeriia general elections billed for February 25 and March 11, 2023, stating that as such there would not be any sit-at-home in Biafra land through out the period of the elections.

The movement made this disclosure through her spokesman, Emma Powerful, describing Nigerian election as fraudulent selection process, recalling that IPOB has stated for umpteenth time that the movement has nothing to do with the Nigeria elections and did not call for a boycott.

 "Nor do we have the intention  to call for election boycott during this coming elections. More importantly IPOB has not called for any sit-at-home during the duration of the election and therefore, distance ourselves from any purported sit-at-home in Biafra land during the election. Those calling for "No election" and sit-at-home during the election period are simply Fulani agents whose sole motive is to discredit our Self Determination movement by attempting to paint it as an anti democratic forces. 

"Their intension is to create the ground work for the international community to view IPOB as being against democratic process and provide them with an excuse to clamp down on our activities and on IPOB Leadership. Nigeria security agencies have kept silent on these double agents because they are working for the Nigeria government. Let IPOB call for this sit-at-home or No Election, the entire Nigeria security agencies would have been ranting and threatening the entire Biafra land," he stated.

He reiterated that those calling for no election or Sit-at-home during this forthcoming elections did not represent IPOB, and were not IPOB family members neve and we're not working for Kanu.  

"We have continued to make this fact public and for reasons best known to the Nigerian media and some public commentators, they have deliberately continually  attributed the actions of these Nigerian politicians and Nigerian government paid infiltrators to the noble movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB worldwide IPOB cannot legitimise a process whose foundation is abinitio of your choice. This is one of the reasons we have distanced ourselves from the selection process called Nigeria elections. Our position remains that Nigeria is an irredeemable fraudulent country, and not even your vote can change the fantastically corrupt British enterprise called Nigeria.

"Our focus remains the unconditional release of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as the Court of Appeal has ordered and Referendum date for Biafrans to determine their political future. 

"IPOB DOS and the leadership will make a landmark on radio Biafra by Mazi Chinasa  Nworu, on Friday 24th night on the issue of elections and to tell Biafrans that we are not stopping anybody from performing his or her civic responsibility by voting person of your choice.

" IPOB did not order sit-at-home IPOB is not against anybody coming out for elections everybody should go out on these days criminals mentioned as sit-at-home. There is no sit-at-home order in Biafraland," he affirmed.
