The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that the South East governors are working for the re-election of President Muhammadu Buahri against the Atiku/Obi presidential ambition based on their quest to be allowed to return for a second tenure in office.

He maintained IPOB’s stand on the boycott of the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria. He demanded a referendum for Biafra exit from Nigeria, citing undue marginalisation of the people of the South East and parts of the South-South.

In a broadcast message he issued yesterday from his base in Israel, Kanu declared that Nigeria over the years, had failed to conduct free, fair and credible elections, wondering “how do you expect us to vote in an election where the outcome is a forgone conclusion.”

He said: “It is shameful and very sad for any observer of what is happening to the East and especially Igbo people. If you are not mentally tough you might be tempted to throw in the towel in surrender to Fulani hegemony given the conduct of some Igbo politicians. Admittedly some politicians show the potential of being reliable, however, as one intelligent man put it, ‘politicians are often victims of linear thinking and logic.’

“IPOB has proved that there are other centres of influence and power in the East. Those hoping that Atiku will sweep Biafraland because of the Obi factor are misguided because almost every governor in the South East is working for Buhari. What a shame! Even Soludo of all people is working for Buhari.

“IPOB is not backing down on the boycott. Never! In the immediate past few years, IPOB has proven that other than politicians, there are other centres of influence and power in South East and parts of South-South.

“So, this current path we have chosen – the path of boycotting the 2019 elections – is a well-considered one geared towards leaving no one in doubt that we mean business. We know that some people are wondering what IPOB expects to gain when it refuses to participate in elections.

“I am keenly aware that, at first, the logic of a boycott makes little sense to many. Some have said that by participating in elections, IPOB will have a chance of helping to elect politicians amenable to self-determination and ultimately a referendum. Well, that’s true but only in theory.

“In practice, experience has shown that votes hardly count in Nigeria; and where they may count, we have not yet seen any candidate willing to commit to the changes we demand, such that the boycott could be reconsidered as a whole, or piecemeal for such candidate.

“Suffice it to say therefore that it is the real and recurring threats to the fairness of elections in Nigeria that constitute one of the primary reasons that IPOB has chosen the path of boycotting elections. So, in as much as the boycott may not succeed in truncating the election in the short term, the long benefits are legion.

“The downside of a boycott is of course very obvious: when an election is boycotted, the incumbent is much more likely to win that election. Yet, the upside is that when a popular mass movement such as IPOB boycotts an election, it denies the government the legitimacy derived from the results of such election. That’s enough for us and that’s enough for the international community that monitors these things.

“The point of what I have been saying is simple: The raging debate issuing from IPOB’s decision to boycott the 2019 elections should not be about the pros and cons. Rather, those that know that the boycott will hurt them should direct their energy to consideration of the political concessions that can be made to IPOB to persuade it to call off the boycott.

“The Nigeria they are asking us to participate in their elections doesn’t even know the meaning of separation of powers because Nigeria is a backward Fulani enclave under neo-colonial influence. What I find mentally debilitating is our inability as a group of people to rise to the occasion and take back the power we have so freely for years vested in the hands of people who are not educated enough to hold high public office.

“The fact still remains that what happens in Nigeria is selection not election if not why would Dave Umahi in PDP be campaigning for a murderous APC government that killed his own people. Why would Wille Obiano of Anambra State, a supposed Igbo man, be campaigning so viciously against Peter Obi his mentor and godfather? We know the all-powerful INEC is owned and run by Fulani cabal under the direct supervision of Aso Rock which they also own. Only INEC-announced results are considered valid; so, all it takes for a candidate to win is to be in the good books of the Fulani cabal running Nigeria and you are guaranteed success.

“It doesn’t matter how many votes you receive or how many supporters you have, the only thing that counts is who Aso Rock wants to place in power. Edo, Ekiti and Osun states are forerunners of what will become of the elections this year. Everybody saw the blatant rigging and falsification of results but as Africans, we don’t care enough to want to correct these anomalies, but we expect economic and social development from people who are callous enough to subvert the electoral process.

“The issue of underage voting in Kano hasn’t been addressed. The other thorny issue of allowing so-called IDP’s residing in Niger, Chad and Cameroons to vote in the presidential elections has been resolved in favour of APC because they will simply write results for INEC to accept and declare. All these are inbuilt fraud designed to deliver the government in power.

“What Nigeria is practicing is not democracy because in any true democracy the legislature will not tolerate the excesses of this Buhari administration. Now the question is why don’t people rise up in rebellion against this mess of a government. Could it be because we are all spineless cowards? The fact remains that people have refused to rationalise and reason very properly.

“How do you expect us to vote in an election where the outcome is a forgone conclusion? Nepotism has been taken to a new height because the appointment of an all exclusive Fulani INEC. This was the same INEC that sanctioned the nomination of Buhari despite not having a verifiable WAEC certificate which for the avoidance of doubt is a prerequisite for every candidate seeking the office of the president of Nigeria.

“As our mothers defended our land in 1929, so shall this IPOB defend our nation Biafra,” Kanu stated

We getting there!! Today Na Monday nAh!! Which kind epistle b dz early momo... In summary:: ONLY GOD CAN LEAD US THROUGH FOR NAIJA!

It's crystal clear that PMB is going to rig the election, it's only a numbskull that does not know.

But we serve a mighty God...

Sani Abacha is better than PMB!

Useless people

Here comes this hunch-Back, bleaching gay again, AKA Mr JACK the 2nd.
We don't have the time to read the words of a Bastard.
All enemies of Nigeria will never know peace.

We won't be suprised to see some certain children of hate, troublemakers still coming here to support someone who told them face to face that he misses his dead dog JACK more than all the people he caused to die and call their females unprintable names!
SHAMELESSNESS!
Next news please..........

On another note.........
OBIANO, is a very good politician. 
E too sure for the guy abeg!
Incase you don't know him, OBIANO is the man on red cap. The nightmare of Peter Obi....JamaicaBakare .

Corrinthians:
You should have added a Jubrin from Sudan statement to your comment. Shebi him say baba don kpai and na jubrin dey there. Which Buhari him dey talk about again?

Kanu is a big fool, and those who heed his words are bigger fools.

You've said it all Chairman!

KANU just wants the Igbo's to eat thier Governors alive. Those Governors can't campaign for Buhari in the East even if they wanted to.

Even if Jesus/Mohammad plus all the angels campaign for the dullard in the SE, he won't get 5% of votes in that region. That's how much he's despised.

we know, but who is he running from? and where is the hell he's bringing to Nigeria?

Nothing like Biafra,and some of them are not Atikulooting

Lol confused human being. He has been engulfed with fear, confusion and fatique and forgot to use the "jubril el sudani" line today.

by the way the south east governors knows atiku is bad market, they also know that buhari government has done more in terms of infrastructural developments, security and funding in the south east, more than any president in history. Infact they are the real patriots...

#next_level.

Propaganda is a norm

Is this man after freedom of Biafra or PDP cos i don't understand self

The Governors can work for buhari all the want but as long as the masses are not working for him Daura is sure

Absolutely Right..for those who understood the principles of personal liberty,Biafra agitation is not politics.Kanu is right on this..That was why the federal side stands militarily in the East,it also to the credit of Buhari..don't mix Biafra agitation with politics and also don't mix boko haram with politics.

Thats their cup of tea

Dis one just dey talk anything wey come him mind

Any prominent individual working for buhari is out of duress or fear of efcc

Igbo's should be careful
The truth is that this guy is working with buhari hand to hand ,forget phyton dance all of those things are election strategy ,if buhari truly mean this guy he should have kept him in prison like dansuki and El zazaki (whom the supreme Court ,awarded a bail ,and a new flourished house) but nothing has been done.if not sen.abariba that signed his bail should be in the same position with sen.dino melayi .
This this political brain logistics , because buhari knows that he can't get a good number of votes from the East ,then he used Nnamdi as an instrument to reduce the number of votes coming from the East .

This guy is among those bringing insult to the igbo tribe


How do people take this guy seriously??

Unstable fellow.

Why is he concerned about the upcoming election. I thought his mantra has Always been no lefelendum no erection .

kaen1317:
Any prominent individual working for buhari is out of duress or fear of efcc

Which means they are corrupt?

Cownu, do you realise your piglets allege you're also working for Baba?

Cownu probably forgot he said Buhari is dead and the man in Aso Rock is one Jubrin from Sudan when he made this statement.

IPod, how many more stupid trash do you people need to hear and see from this fool to make you realise he's been taking you guys for a ride from day one!

Wetin Kanu do to these people brain? Isn't stupidity a reversible condition?

After nearly dying of hunger in the last 3 years, how can someone in their right mind want to go to the NEXT LEVEL?

Ipob miscreants, your god has spoken.
As you can see, even as blind as kanu is, he has seen the writing on the wall.
If the first citizen of the state refuse to identify with a fugitive, I still don't understand how the state is "lockedown" for that fugitive.
