Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, the leadership of the indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to stop dragging the group into the state\u2019s election.<\/p>\n

IPOB leadership made this known in a statement signed by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful and forwarded to DAILY POST on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The group said that it has no business with INEC, especially in chatting the way forward in conducting free, fair and peaceful\/credible elections in the said state.<\/p>\n

The statement reads in part: \u201cWe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to reiterate once again that we have no business with INEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know whether or not INEC exists. We have nothing to do with the election INEC is conducting, and we wonder why INEC would want to drag us into the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cINEC should face what is facing it and leave IPOB alone. We didn\u2019t dialogue with the Nigerian government let alone INEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe found laughable the declaration by the Nigeria police that they are coming to Anambra State governorship elections on 6th of November with 33,000 personnel and 8 helicopters to kill Igbo citizens on that day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis statement from Fulani controlled police IGP shows how prepared they are to kill our people and also a clear indication that Nigerian police and the Fulani cabal do not want the election in Anambra to hold.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to place on record that the plan by the Nigerian police to deploy over 33,000 police and three helicopters, among others to Anambra State for the November 6 governorship election, is another ploy to kill more innocent Biafrans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis confirms our fears and earlier intelligence that the Fulani controlled security agents have perfected plans to use the election to force more Biafra youths to their early grave.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore, wish to advise Biafrans in Anambra State to be very cautious of this wicked plot and don\u2019t play into their hands,\u201d the group stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
