The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has described as desperate and shameless, Federal Government and the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC’s claim that the just concluded
governorship election in Anambra State was successful.
IPOB claimed that not up to 10,
000 registered voters turned out for election involving more than 2.2 million
voters registered in the state.
According to IPOB, No civilized
society will regard such low number of voters as credible enough number to
sustain a democratic mandate of the office of the governor of a state.
In statement by its spokesperson,
Comrade Emma Powerful, the Nigerian government is deceiving the general public
that there was massive turnout in the election.
The statement continues, “The
leadership and worldwide family of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) under
the supreme command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemn the desperate
and shameless efforts of the Nigerian Government and her politicians including
some government media propaganda machines, who it seems are now the defenders
of evil in the land, to discredit and deceive the general public that there was
a massive turn out of electorates in the just concluded Anambra state
governorship election.
“Nothing could be further from
the truth. Going by INEC’s own figures of accredited voters, not up to 10,000
people participated in this keenly contested election involving more than 2.2
million registered voters. This represents only 0.45% of the entire electorate.
“No civilised society will regard
such low number of voters as a credible enough number to sustain a democratic
mandate of the office of the governor of a state.
“Every conscientious and right
thinking person must be appalled at the level of deception and collusion
currently going on between the corrupt Nigerian government, her politicians and
some unethical media propaganda machines, who are prepared to publish blatant
falsehood as part of a wider conspiracy to deny the inevitable fact that IPOB
boycott was obeyed by 99.9% of voters in Anambra State. IPOB rendered the whole
exercise meaningless.
“What this proves is that IPOB is
clearly in the majority in Anambra State with 99% of the registered voters
abstaining from the polls. It will be fair therefore to conclude that the whole
electorate in Anambra State heeded the boycott order issued by the IPOB leader
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.”
