More kicks have been given to the planned election boycott ordered by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

New among the notables to speak against the order is the Obi Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe, who dismissed the order, stating that the election must hold and no one could stop it from happening.

Igwe Achebe who is also the Chairman of Anambra State Traditional Ruler’s Council made the statement when the State leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene visited him in his palace, today, Wednesday.

His words: “The election is for us not for the entire country. You cannot have a referendum in one part of the country without carrying other parts of the country along and the government must support and sponsor it before it will be organized and not curving out some part of the country for the referendum. The election must hold and nobody or group of persons will stop it. Nobody should come to the state to cause unnecessary tension”.

“Our people should come home to invest in industry, factory, build schools and hospitals that will be beneficial to our people. We need non partisan strong institution to create good environment for development. I commend the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership both at the national and state level for their efforts within six months to unite Ndigbo” Achebe stated.

In his remarks, the State Ohanaeze Chairman, Chief Okeke-Ogene said they visited the traditional ruler to show respect and to carry the traditional institution along in whatever they do as custodian of culture in Igbo land.

“There is nothing will do without you. If there is any case that is beyond us, we will consult you for advise and possible resolution. Obi of Onitsha is bridge between the people and the government and his throne is falling point for Ndigbo, Onitsha culture is a complete and standard that other Igbo land emulates”.

He said that the group had already condemned the call by IPOB leader to boycott governorship election in the state, saying that election must hold “Nobody who fought war will like to fight again. So we should be fighting war of sense and not physical war to being Ndigbo into the main stream in the country.”

Nobody is stopping the election from taking place, but the truth of the matter is that nobody is voting.

Nawa ooo, na by force to vote ?

Go and vote, but don't drag anyone along.

****Long live Obi Nnaemeka Achebe.****
But your opinion is rejected on this issue.

We can't afford to loose our celebration( Nsala celebration) just because of ordinary election day that is synonymous with crisis.
The number of people that die during electioneering period in Nigeria is alarming.

How many politicians children have you seen at the pooling unit before ?. They can't bring their children to Nigeria because they know that it's difficult to differentiate between war and election period.

Igbos don't have King, but u are all bowing down to fraudster Kanu and carrying out his orders without questioning. U won't listen to the King because his not Kanu abi

sarrki:

But KANU is king shay ?

Lol, don't mind that hypocrite

Yeah! It is easy to codemn Civil movement.

We will like to hear our Obi condemn the murder of innocent protesters, women and children by the Military that swore to protect them.

The Obi needs to condemn rape of women and children in their village farm by Fulani Herdsmen.

If the Obi can remain mute about the plight of Ndiigbo then he constitute part of the problem Ndiigbo face.

A lion in the house against his own people struggle is not the character trait of a Royal but that of a slave.

Obi Achebe is an idiot..... what do you expect from a political igwe?

We will take him serious when he stops taxing those repairing their leaking roofs

No video record

Fake news

Good king

Long live obi of Onitsha

I'm not a KANU fan but if people respect him, he must have earned it. Respect is not by heritage in Igbo land

The same obi of Onitsha thy didn't say anything when the people of Onitsha were killed by the military.

Obi of onitsha is an ewedu gulping afonja. A saboteur and backstabber coward. Ipods how market for upper iweka?

Anambarians will vote, let's boycott Election from Kanu"s home town....Most Nairalanders saying that Anambarians won't vote are either not living in Anambra or they are not from Anambra...
