The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) will not attempt any disruption to the 2023 general elections in the South East.
IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful, said in a press statement that contrary to threats by a breakaway faction of the group led by Simon Ekpa to disrupt the elections, IPOB will not stand in the way of the Independent Electoral Commission and voters during the polls.
“The 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,” Mr. Emma Powerful said.
“IPOB 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.”
“IPOB 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.
“Whoever 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.”
