BREAKING: IPOB Cancels 1 Week Sit-At-Home

The Indigenous People of Biafra, or IPOB, has called off its one-week sit-in across the South-East.

iexclusive News Nigeria reports that according to IPOB, the order was canceled after consultations with Southeast elders, traditional, and religious leaders.

Emma Powerful, IPOB’s spokesman, revealed this in a statement issued Thursday evening.

According to Powerful, “Following the genuine intervention of our elders, esteemed traditional Institutions/Rulers, and Religious Leaders, and after careful consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement, and in light of 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 Anambra State residents to turn out in large numbers on Saturday to vote for candidates of their choice.

“The people of Anambra State should go out in large numbers and peacefully exercise their franchise on November 6, 20121, and choose a leader of their choice without being intimidated by anyone, group of people, or security agents.”

“We have credible intelligence that the Nigeria DSS has concluded an agreement to deploy a branch of their trained terrorist group to Anambra state on June 6, 2021, to unleash mayhem on our people and blame the killing on peaceful IPOB members.”

“Anambrarians should vote and be ready to defend their votes.” Any form of rigging in the Anambra State governorship election will not be tolerated. It must be open, free, and equitable to all.

“We would like to thank Biafrans, IPOB members all over the world, friends of Biafra, and lovers of freedom for their unwavering support for our tenacious struggle for independence,” IPOB said.
