IPOB : Anambra Governorship Election will now Hold
SAN FRANCISCO, August 18, (THEWILL) – The November 18 Anambra state governorship election is no longer threatened by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
This is as a result of a ‘go-ahead’ by the pro-secession group, led by Nnamdi Kanu, as it withdrew its threat to stop the conduct of the governorship election in the State.
The decision was reached after a meeting organised by a non-governmental organisation, the Ala-Igbo International Foundation which has traditional leaders, Igbo professors, and religious leaders as members.
The meeting was held on Friday with the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Leader of the foundation, Professor Uzodinma Nwala, says after much deliberations which they say is still on-going, IPOB has assured the Igbo leaders that it won’t disrupt the November 18 governorship election.
People who are eligible to vote have also been told to go out and exercise their franchise without fear of molestation.
THEWILL recalls that IPOB had threatened that elections would not hold in the state until a referendum was conducted to determine the future of South East.
