IPOB Discredits 2019 Elections As ‘shambolic Rigging Fest’ by OrientDailyNews: 8:38am On Mar 04, 2019

The Indigenous People of Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu has discredited the 2019 presidential and national assembly elections as a ‘shambolic rigging fest’ and a confirmation of its stand that voting in Nigeria was a “useless” exercise.

The group also said it remained the only ray of light in a dark and murky political landscape in Nigeria and that its exiled leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was the only good thing that had happened to Biafrans in 50 years.

IPOB’s media and publicity secretary of the group, Emma Powerful who made the declaration in a press statement issued on Sunday argued that the outcome of the presidential election won by President Muhammadu Buhari had vindicated their position that only referendum would address the country’s political logjam.

The statement reads in parts: “The unacceptable levels of humiliation, intimidation, killing, announcement of fake results, coupled with sponsored propaganda against our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and entire peaceful movement like IPOB by strategy deficient perennial losers, cannot stop our total resolve to restore Biafra sovereignty in the shortest possible time.

“Only a slowpoke and worker of iniquity will pretend not to know what transpired in the colonial contraption called Nigeria during the recently concluded presidential elections. Using the military, police and armed thugs to rig in favour of the ruling APC was clear for all to see.

“That the result has been sanctioned by some weak-minded apathetic Nigerians as well as the Fulani loving British colonial masters, despite the horrors of that elections, is proof, if one is needed, that poor masses of Nigeria are like tormented caged animals stripped of every dignity and lacking in courage.”

“It is a pity and downright unbelievable that their so called Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its agents would allow themselves to be used by the executive the same way they used the judiciary in the country to subvert the will and desire of the people. Thankfully such brazen display of primitivity will never obtain in Biafra.”

The outlawed pro-Biafra group recalled that it had forewarned that the Buhari is not willing to relinquish power. “Before now, IPOB have always maintained, through its various press statements and our leader’s broadcasts via Radio Biafra, that Nigerian government headed by Jubril-Buhari and his kinsmen, will never willingly relinquish power in a peaceful process and will always use INEC, Army, Police, DSS to intimidate the masses during elections.”

IPOB also called on all politicians from its geographical region still nursing the idea of being president of Nigeria to discard the idea and join Biafra struggle. The Nnamdi Kanu led group insists that no amount of negative publicity with stop the group and its leader from achieving the indigenisation of Biafra in a short while. It disclosed that it had plans underway to secretly employ the right personnel to achieve the actualisation of Biafra state within a short time.

“We are not unaware that some Fulani slaves in Biafraland, particularly Igbo politicians, are still nursing the misguided hope of becoming president of Nigeria in 2023.

“We are calling and advising them to retrace their steps and join the movement for Biafra restoration because Biafra sovereignty is sacrosanct. If they were ignorant of the fact that current Nigerian system will never allow them to come near Aso Rock, events of February 23 in Lagos and northern Nigeria has brought home the stark reality that Biafrans are not needed at the heart of Nigerian politics.

“Another Fulani man will, in all likelihood, rig himself into power in 2023 with the help of Yoruba Muslims and the British. All the people will say then is, let us live in peace and move the country forward. Therefore, politicians, artisans, traders, academics, professionals, businessmen and women in Biafra land and all over the world must support IPOB in this noble quest for Biafra liberation or we are doomed to be enslaved in Nigeria along with our children and generations unborn.

“With or without your votes, Fulani terrorist soldiers and police in Nigeria uniforms including INEC will continue to rig elections and publicly disenfranchise Biafrans. A new equation has been successfully introduced which is the use of INEC Collation Officers to allocate figures to their preferred candidates under the watchful eyes the Nigerian military. We are not bothered who becomes president of Nigeria from May 29, 2019 because our focus is on Biafra restoration. One thing we know for sure is that in the end IPOB will win and Biafra sovereignty will be fully restored.”
