The Indigenous People of Biafra has decided to revoke its one-week sit-at-home order across the South-East at the last minute.
IPOB said this decision was taken after several consultations with elders and traditional and religious leaders from the region. Director of Media and Publicity of IPOB, Emma Powerful, released a statement on the new directive.
“The leadership of IPOB, ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby and immediately call off the one-week sit-at-home earlier declared to commence November 5 to November 10,” Mr Powerful said.
“We, therefore, urge all Biafrans and residents of Biafra to go about their lawful businesses without fear of any molestations. All agents of darkness recruited by our enemies to inflict pain on our people under the guise of enforcing the sit-at-home are hereby warned to steer clear or brace up for the consequences of their evil action.”
The spokesperson also urged the people of Anambra to exercise their political right as citizens to vote in the state election this Saturday.
“Anambrarians should vote and standby to protect their votes. No rigging of any kind will be tolerated. It must be transparent, free and fair to all,” he said.
“The people of Anambra should go out en-masse and peacefully exercise their franchise on Saturday and accordingly, chose a leader of their choice. They should not be intimidated by anybody, group of persons or security agents.”
