Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it has no plan to disrupt election in Igboland in 2023.<\/p>\n

The media and publicity secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, in a press statement said there is no truth in any information circulating on alleged plans to disrupt election in 2023 in Igboland.<\/p>\n

The group rather accused the federal government of masterminding insecurity in the South East, with the hope of causing fear and accusing IPOB of their deeds.<\/p>\n

A recent video of a breakaway member of IPOB, Mr Simon Ekpa recently surfaced on the internet, where he said the group would not let any election hold in Biafraland.<\/p>\n

But in a press release on behalf of IPOB, Powerful said: \u201cThe IPOB leadership has for umpteenth time stated unequivocally that part of our modus operandi in our agitation for freedom has never been, is not and will not be violent agitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis explains our consistent demand for the UN to organise a Referendum in the Biafran territory for the Biafran people to determine their destiny. To this effect, IPOB is neither contemplating nor will it encouraged or sponsor anyone or group to disrupt Nigeria shambolic selection process called election.<\/p>\n

\u201cIPOB has constantly made it public that we have no interest in and cannot legitimise the aberration they call election in Nigeria. We are a focused, determined and disciplined freedom fighting movement not political thugs and IPOB is devoted to the cause of liberating our people from subjugation and from modern day slavery and Neo-colonialism and will not allow ourselves to be distracted from this very objective.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group continued that: \u201cIPOB is not interested and will never involve ourselves in any Nigeria fraudulent pre-election or post-election issues. Our job is to open the eyes of the blinds by the gospel of truth which our leader has delivered already.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever that is sponsoring any group or gang tagging them IPOB is on his\/her own. For those who are hard of hearing, IPOB is one indivisible family under one central command and leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf in the future IPOB leadership decides to make further statement on the upcoming Nigeria selection process called election, we shall make such statement through our official channels.\u201d<\/p>\n
