Election: IPOB Spits Fire Over Attack On Igbo Voters In Lagos by actiondrilling: 5:43am On Feb 25, 2019
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned, in its totality, the alleged attack on Ndigbo in Lagos during the Presidential and National Assembly elections.

The group alleged the attack in the West could be a ploy by the Fulani cabal to instigate ethnic conflict between the East and West, should Buhari lose the election.

Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement, wondered why some Yoruba politicians would allow themselves to be used by “Fulani-dominated” government of Nigeria to attack or stop Igbo people in Lagos and other parts of Yoruba land from voting for candidates of their choice.

Powerful said: “Igbo strongholds in Lagos have been under serious attack and humiliation by the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) thugs since election day. With every event and incident, the stance of IPOB is being justified on a daily basis. Those who doubted us in the beginning can now see that the only solution left is the restoration of the sovereignty of Biafra.

“We condemn, in its entirety, certain utterances and anti-Igbo sentiments emanating from certain quarters in Yoruba west and Fulani-controlled north.

“The brazen attempt to threaten, intimidate and stop Igbo Biafrans from voting for their choice candidate is unacceptable to any right thinking person, and is a confirmation, if any is needed, that Biafrans of whatever persuasion, is not wanted in Nigeria.

“This is the state of affairs we are not prepared to tolerate. Those hatching devilish plans to attack Biafrans and their business interest in other parts of Nigeria must understand the grave consequences their actions portend.

“This latest action against Biafrans living in northern and western parts of the country is not in tandem with the so-called spirit of one Nigeria. We must put it to the knowledge of every Nigerian who wish to know, that Biafrans will not allow a repeat of 1966, when Igbo were massacred in their hundreds of thousands across Nigeria. Those behind this latest plot must not underestimate our preparedness.

“It is unbelievable that some Yoruba leaders and their Fulani counterparts would summon the courage to ask Igbo/Biafran people not to vote for the candidates of their choice because they are not indigenes. Some went as far as saying Igbo should go back to Igbo land if they want to vote for any person other than APC candidate.

“Our people living in Northern and Western parts of the country must be prepared and never entertain any fear, particularly those in Lagos and Kano States, because any attempt to commence another round of ethnic cleansing of Igbo in the north or west, will be reciprocated in the east.

“Those acclaimed paid APC/OPC thugs who had the temerity to threaten Igbo and other Biafrans living in their areas must know they are doing that to their own detriment, because Biafrans are ready to face them, should the need arise.

Our movement and struggle for Biafra freedom, through peaceful means, must not be misconstrued by anybody or tribe in Nigeria, to mean weakness. Biafrans living in any part of Nigeria, outside Biafra land, must gradually prepare for total relocation of their businesses and families, particularly Lagos and Kano States, because they have perfected plans to forcibly eject them from those states.

Yeah.. Disenfranchise the voting of the Igbo's with thuggery and intimidation in Lagos, make sure it works and then apologize like nothing happened after all, we have condemned the attacks and disassociate ourselves from violent election. Last time, it was the lagoon threat, today it's political thugs. I wonder what's next? If we can't live in peace in this country, then we go our separate ways. One Nigeria na scam.. Fact.

If we cant live as one nation, then we should all support the quick dissolution of the country, that way you can have your South West all by yourself. Besides, I've never lived in South West in all my life.

If right there in Ábíá, Buhari's party defeated PDP in the Senatorial district of Supreme leader coward Nnamdi Kanu, It's over for IPOB. Kanu's thought is for PDP to win and he would then return to Nigeria.

This isn't happening. Buhari Has won with a margin less than 2million, but all win na win

Your government didn't inform them to return home when they're investing and paying taxes. As a matter of fact, they tried to but got threaten by the military and the rest of Nigerians rejoiced at Python dance. You see, it's not their fault right?.

They ran away from Arewa and other parts of the country and packed up in Lagos and other Western States. We don't want them. Let them go home, sweet home. Many are ready to die in Lagos than returning to their God forsaken home.

Lagos is the collective efforts of all Nigerians and I respect that. However, Let me remind you that we tried to live in 1967, and Nigeria brought us back with a deadly war that almost annihilated the Igbo's and the rest of other Nigerians celebrated. These generations of the Igbo's got fed up and championed their fate but got threaten again and Nigerians celebrated. Well, this is federal republic of Nigeria and her citizens are guided by the constitution. Kapish.

I saw some ibo guys in Kano on TVcomplaining that they werent allowed to vote.

The happenings in Lagos are shameful. Some Ibos too are perhaps fond of provoking Lagos Yorubas with their utterances, but that in no way justifies election violence and disruption.

In most cases of election fracas APC was the culprit. What a party!

All of the sai babaists of 2015 only God will judge . Is this how the election that brought buhari in was?

The sentiment expressed by most Yoruba members here is worrying though not surprising.

If it's gotten to a point were we all cannot condemn an obvious wrong act, then I fear for the future of Nigeria.

What's wrong is wrong. It must be condemned.

Lagos will never be Lagos were the Igbos to leave.
But guess What, I'm beginning to think it will happen one day.

Igbos will leave not just Lagos and the southwest but Nigeria, and indeed they are leaving.

Most of those who have relocated outside Nigeria today are Igbos and many many more are working toward that goal.

The hatred against Ndi Igbo is growing among the 2 major tribes(Hausa and Yoruba) , and it seems to have crossed the point of no return.

I know it's painful when you loose absolute control but that's the reality of world today.

The shifting political equation in Lagos has made our Yoruba brothers loose there humanity.

Nigeria government grant referendum to us we Biafrans they ignored it at upper house of assembly not even to listen to their voice on referendum. Biafrans conduct internal referendum it was very successful but Nigerian government immediately postponed the election day after accepted our request sealed and signed. Biafrans is waiting the last command by our supreme leader Prince Mazi Nnamdi KANU either we go in peace or pieces. Biafra is a sure stake recognised international try nonsense and feel the heat.
