The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has alleged that some
unscrupulous elements and groups are working to rig the ongoing Anambra State
governorship election.
IPOB claims that the groups are working to upturn the
results of Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Emma Powerful, spokesman of the separatist group disclosed
this in a statement he signed on Tuesday.
Powerful reiterated that IPOB has no political affiliation
in the state, but is concerned about the well-being of people of the Southeast.
According to Powerful: “We have intercepted credible
intelligence reports that some unscrupulous elements and groups are making
frantic efforts to upturn the overriding decision of Ndi Anambra at Ihiala.
“It is common knowledge that IPOB has no political
affiliation or affinity with anybody.
“Our preoccupation has been the preservation, protection and
projection of well-being of Biafraland nothing more.
“This informs why we had to call off the Sit At Home to
enable our people to participate in choosing who governs them.
“It will be foolhardy for us to lift the Sit At Home order
only for strangers to stampede the will of the people.
“IPOB has been compelled by exigencies to send this warning
to those being used to subvert the Peoples’ Mandate. Let the Peoples’ will
prevail.”
This is coming at a time when ESN members, a militant arm of
IPOB allegedly engaged security operatives in a gun battle in Ihiala.
