Anglican Men’s Fellowship, Nnewi Diocese have advised the Indigenous People’s of Biafra (IPOB) to call off their planned boycott of the Anambra governorship election slated for November 18 election.

Speaking at the end of 13th annual All Christian Men’s Convention, tagged “Peace, Be Still”, at St Peter’s Anglican Church, Okija, Sir Felix Okechukwu, diocesan president, Anglican Men’s Fellowship, warned that boycotting the election and preventing others from voting would attract the presence of the military and an administrator imposed on the people.

The association also used the occasion to endorse the candidate of the People’s Progressive Alliance (PPA), Godwin Ezeemo as the next Anambra governor, describing him as the right leader to trans- form the state.

Venerable Dr. Fred Nwachukwuma, while con- demning the viscous cycle of bad leadership the society have been inflicted with, declared that Ezeemo has what it takes to change Anambra State given what he achieved in his home- town, Umuchu. Nwachuk- wuma listed Ezeemo’s achievement to include, quality road, ultramodern computer training centre, gas station, 24-hour ATM machine, hotspot, five-star hotel, recycling plant; vegetable and animal farms with good access roads, feedmill plant, printing press, and communications outfit.

Meanwhile, Ezeemo, who was the special guest at the event, lamented that young people do not have any reference point or model. “All our children have to learn from is how to cheat, defraud and be selfish. Though the whites have harsh weather condi- tions, they are able to put their place in order.”

He said that that whites can afford to go on vaca- tion because they have put their place in order.

“Our people with a more favourable weather, we have allowed ‘meism’ instead of ‘wehood’ to truncate our development. Truth must be told here, this is the bane of our problem as a people. Why the youths say that they want Biafra is because we lack good leadership. Let’s return the Bible to the primary schools.”

Ezeemo called for restor- ing the dignity of labour, saying “Aka Ajaja n’ewete onu mmanu mmanu.”

“My passion is borne out of my burden for the black people. My programme for Anambra State is straight forward. Our children need to be groomed from the foundation with history and civic education.

“They need to be given a favourable environment where all the basics of life are consistently available; power, water, quality road, health, education, security, fresh food, internet access and you see them revolu- tionalising their world,” Ezeemo said.
