The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cancelled its one
week sit-at-home order across the South-East.
IPOB said the order was called off following consultations
with elders, traditional, and religious leaders from the Southeast.
Spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, disclosed this in a statement
he issued on Thursday evening.
According to Powerful: “Following the genuine intervention
of our elders, esteemed traditional Institutions /Rulers and Religious Leaders,
and after a due consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement, and
sequel to the fact that Our elders have spoken in our terms , the Leadership of
IPOB ably lead by MAZI NNAMDI Kanu hereby and immediately CALL OFF THE ONE WEEK
SIT AT HOME earlier declared to commence tomorrow, November 5 to November 10,
2021.
“We have equally considered several appeals by our mothers
who earn their living based on their daily economic activities which will
obviously be affected if Biafra land is locked down for one whole week. It’s
never our intention to add to the pains of our people, hence our decision to
suspend the sit-at-home.
“IPOB leadership is only interested in Our referendum and
peaceful agitation for self determination, and can not by under any guise be
seen to be interfering with any electoral process.”
The separatist group urged people of the Anambra State to
come out en masse and vote for candidates of their choice on Saturday.
“The people of Anambra State should go out enmasse and
peacefully exercise their franchise come 6th November 20121 and accordingly,
chose a leader of their Choice and should not be intimidated by anybody, group
of persons or security agents.
“Credible intelligence available to us confirmed that the
Nigeria DSS has concluded arrangement to deploy a branch of their trained
terrorist group to Anambra state come 6th Day 2021, to unleash mayhem on our
people and attribute the killing to peaceful IPOB members.
“Anambrarians should vote and standby to protect their
votes. No rigging of any kind will be tolerated on the Anambra State
governorship election. It must be transparent, free and fair to all.
“We wish to thank Biafrans, IPOB members worldwide, friends
of Biafra and lovers of freedom for their continued support for our dogged
struggle for independence,” IPOB said.
