The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it has no business with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State.

IPOB was reacting to a statement credited to NEC to the effect that the electoral umpire was coming to negotiate or dialogue with IPOB over the November 6, 2021 Anambra governorship election.

IPOB in a statement made available to News Express by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, insisted that IPOB family worldwide was oblivious of the existence of INEC.

The group wondered why INEC wants to drag it into the election, saying that it has nothing to do with the election.

The statement partly reads: “INEC should face what is facing it and leave IPOB alone. We didn’t dialogue with Nigeria government, let alone INEC.

“We found laughable the declaration by the Nigeria Police that they are coming to Anambra State Governorship elections on 6th of November with 33,000 personnel and 8 helicopters to kill Igbo citizens on that day.

“This statement from the IGP shows how prepared they are to kill our people and also a clear indication that Nigerian Police and the cabal in government do not want the election in Anambra to hold.

“We also want to place on record that the plan by the Nigerian Police to deploy over 33,000 Policemen and three helicopters, among others, to Anambra State for the November 6 Governorship election, is another ploy to kill more innocent Biafrans.

“This confirms our fears and earlier intelligence that security agents have perfected plans to use the election to force more Biafra youths into their early grave.

“We therefore, wish to advise Biafrans in Anambra State to be very cautious of this wicked plot and don’t play into their hands.
