– The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dropped another bombshell over next general elections
– The group’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu had told people of Igbo land to boycott the next elections starting from this year’s gubernatorial election in Anambra state
– The IPOB emphasized that except the federal government meets its demand, the election would not hold in the region
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has again reiterated its call for referendum, stressing that until the Nigerian government meets its demands, there will be no election in the South East starting from the upcoming Anambra state governorship election.
ZENITHBLOG.com gathered that IPOB said should its call for referendum is not met, it will use the November 2017 governorship election in Anambra state to set example for what is to come in the future.

Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB drops another bombshell, insists no elections will hold in Igbo land
IPOB also berated the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for saying its leader; Nnamdi Kanu is parading himself like an emperor.
The group said APGA’s claim was an attempt to “deflect attention away from the fact that it has been responsible for the death of innocent Biafrans numbering over 2000 since the formation of Anambra state.”
IPOB said while APGA is motivated by “personal greed and self-aggrandizement,” it is purely focused on the “liberation of our people and by extension, other oppressed people in Nigeria.”
The group warned that after the November governorship election, APGA will “cease to exist as a political force because they killed innocent Biafrans fighting for the liberation of all of us.”
The statement read in part: “We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leadership worldwide view the childish antics of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) as a jealously laden, derisory attempt to deflect attention away from the fact that APGA as the governing party in Anambra State has been responsible for the death of innocent Biafrans numbering over 2000 since the formation.
“The two notable instances being the infamous Ezu River bodies and the heinous massacres at Nkpor and Head Bridge Onitsha respectively. Willie Obiano, from APGA, superintended the wholesale slaughter of innocent unarmed Biafrans on different occasions.
“The party employed wholesale slaughter of their people as a way of stopping the agitation for restoration of Biafra not knowing that we are prepared to keep dying until Biafra is restored as we swore.
“In the purported letter written by the party in Anambra State threatening a showdown with IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which gave order of no election in all Biafraland starting from Anambra Gubernatorial election come November this year 2017, APGA failed to mention the fact that Biafrans and IPOB in particular campaigned and voted for both Peter Obi, Rochas Okorocha and Willie Obiano but were rewarded with shoot at sight orders issued by both men.
“It is very unfortunate that APGA as a political party preoccupied with feathering the nests of a select few, underestimate the desire of every genuine Biafran to be liberated from the slavery and bondage that Nigeria has come to represent.
“APGA is motivated by personal greed and self aggrandisement unlike IPOB that is purely focused on the liberation of our people and by extension, other oppressed people in Nigeria.
“The spurious and childish accusation that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is also the Director of Radio Biafra and Biafra Television to stop parading himself as emperor smacks more of envy borne out of desperation than a reasoned assertion.
“There is no one more humble than the IPOB leader, that is why he is loved by millions, so the little anti Biafra rant by APGA will only encourage us the more to ensure that the lockdown of Anambra State come 18 November 2017 is total and compete.

“It is insulting for a party that supervised the killing of thousands of IPOB family members, which they connived with the APC Government of Buhari to cover up, to be advising the same people they killed to turn against IPOB. History will remember the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) as the party that murdered those that voted her into power.
“All we are asking for is a date for referendum not war so the people of Biafra can decide their fate in this abominable entity called Nigeria.
ZENITHBLOG.com had previously reported that Nnamdi Kanu on Tuesday June 20 in the presence of a mammoth crowed of IPOB members gathered in his father’s palace at Isiama Afara-Ukwu Ibeku Umuahia, the Abia state capital, told all Igbos to boycott both the November 2017 gubernatorial election in Anambra state and the 2019 general election should the federal government fail to do nothing about restoration of Biafra.
