Kanu Calls Off Sit at Home Order on Election Day
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called off the election boycott order saying the IPOB’s conditions have been met.
Although he did not state the pre-conditions met, Kanu said he dedicated the victory to the formidable IPOB family worldwide.
Kanu had demanded for a referendum before the IPOB members will participate in the polls.
The IPOB leader, who is facing charges of treasonable felony at the Federal High Court in Abuja, had called for a boycott of elections in Anambra in November 2017 if the government failed to set a date for a referendum.
Having confirmed this evening that all our preconditions and terms have been met, signed, sealed and delivered; I hereby call-off the election boycott across Biafraland on Feb. 16, 2019. I dedicate this historic victory to the formidable #IPOB family worldwide.
