The
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Thursday suspended the weekly
sit-at-home order ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The group’s
spokesperson, Emma Powerful disclosed the information in a statement he issued where
he noted that the group had no interest in the presidential poll.
“IPOB led by
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has never forcefully obstructed the election process in
Nigeria. Rather, we once called Biafrans to boycott elections, which was later
called off.
“We have
maintained that we don’t have any interest in the Nigeria shambolic political
selection process called Nigeria elections scheduled for February 2023. Our
interest and focus are the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the date for Biafra
referendum for Biafrans to determine their political future in or outside
Nigeria.
“We knew
that this mushroom group called PANPIEC is among those sponsoring this fake group
claiming that they are IPOB issuing and enforcing reckless sit-at-homes in the
East.
“If they are
not their sponsors, why do they keep linking the paid agents of confusion with
us even as IPOB has publicly denounced any link with Simon Ekpa and his collaborators?
“It’s on
record and in the public domain that IPOB has not called for any sit-at-home
during the February elections,’ the statement read.
