Anambra Election Boycott: IPOB Reacts

THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has expressed gratitude to its supporters for boycotting the Anambra State governorship election.

Spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement attributed the development to their directive.

“IPOB wants to use this opportunity to congratulate Biafrans particularly the people of Anambra State for obeying the order of IPOB and our leader Mazi Nnamdi who has been abducted since 14th September 2017 in today’s election.

“The people of Anambra State have shown the whole world that they are the are the first sons of Biafraland and no doubt about that, there is no election in Anambra State, everywhere is empty both the polling booths and streets are totally deserted.

“We want to tell the whole world that IPOB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave the order on Anambra State governorship election to prove to the civilised nations that we are no more interested in the system of government and her political strategies. The international community and other civilised nations should come for rescue of Biafrans in the Nigerian Islamic government,” Powerful said.

Indications from unofficial results of today’s governorship election in Anambra was a straight fight between the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as early results at the various polling units showed the two parties dominating lead in the results with most of the other 35 parties that entered for the election scoring zero.
