The IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has reacted to the Nigerian government’s call to revoke his bail conditions
- He also said that the IPOB will continue to use civil disobedience as a potent weapon in the protection of Biafran people
- Kanu insisted that his election boycott order on November 18 Anambra governorship elections still remains
The leader of Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has reacted to the federal government’s call to revoke his bail conditions.
It was gathered that in a statement personally signed by Kanu in reaction to the federal government’s call for the revocation of his bail, the IPOB leader said pro-Biafra agitators will continue to use civil disobedience as a potent weapon in the protection of Biafran people from the dictatorial tendencies of the Buhari administration.
His words: “The directive to service chiefs to clamp down on IPOB is a continuation of the Buhari’s dictatorial and un- democratic approach to governance. I find it unacceptable, abhorrent, and insulting that somebody elected by the people can turn around to dictate to them.
“Buhari was elected to govern Nigeria; he should get on with the business of governance and not try to instigate another war.
“I insist on the boycott of November 18 Anambra governorship elections, because only the beneficiaries of the crumbs from Aso Rock will support those calling on me to rescind the boycott order.
“The call for boycott of the election is our legitimate right. IPOB has only one weapon with which to fight Nigeria, and that is civil disobedience not armed conflict. If we decide not to vote in Anambra, it is our prerogative. It is not targeted at Governor Willie Obiano or anybody.
“We have refused to be provoked to arms rebellion. That is what Buhari is looking for. Buhari wants a war but we won’t oblige him because we are civilised people. We are democrats at heart by nature and by essence.
“No amount of threat or intimidation would make him give up the struggle for Biafra autonomy because it is a genuine cause.
