Anambra 2021: IPOB working to install FG’s candidate – Asari Dokubo declares
Founder of the Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF) and self-acclaimed Biafra de facto Customary Government leader, Asari Dokubo has claimed that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is using the ordered seven-day sit-at-home from November 5 to facilitate the emergence of a Federal Government’s preferred candidate in the forthcoming governorship in the state.
Dokubo also claimed that the IPOB group was trying to disenfranchise Anambra residents from voting in the elections scheduled for November 6, through the sit-at-home order to make way for the Federal Government’s candidate ‘in the poll.
It would be recalled that IPOB had demanded that the Federal Government release its leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu from the Department of State Security (DSS) custody before it would permit the November 6 election to hold in Anambra State, as the groyp threatened a 7-day lockdown of the entire South East region of the country.
However, speaking via the verified Facebook account of his non-governmental organization, the Dokubo Asari Foundation, Thursday, the activist expressed the fears that IPOB’s action will ‘effectively enthrone whichever candidate that Abuja prefers over Anambrarians’.
The post by Asari Dokubo:
*URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT*
“This is a public announcement for posterity!
“1: It has come to my attention that the DOS of IPOB has broadcasted a one-week Sit-at-home order in Igboland (as part of Biafra) starting from November 5.
“2: It is public knowledge that the Gubernatorial Elections of Anambra State of Igboland are slated to take place on November 6.
“3: It is therefore unequivocal that IPOB through its Sit-at-home order targets to disenfranchise Anambrarians from the Anambra Elections, from choosing their next Governor.
“4: Let it be known that with this order, IPOB is effectively enthroning whichever candidate that Abuja prefers over Anambrarians. *Let it be absolutely and clearly known to Ndiigbo that IPOB should be held singularly responsible for installing a puppet upon Anambra State, the Light of the Nation*
“5: As offshoot from above, NDIIGBO should start drawing conclusions about the ultimate goals and targets of IPOB.
“6: Naked facts abound that activities of IPOB have systematically created excuses (flimsy or otherwise) for handing Igboland over to the Military Forces of Abuja for occupation starting 2017. The reckless activities of IPOB today in view of the Anambra elections will now institutionalize the occupation of Anambra via the ballot box. NDIIGBO, be informed before it happens.”
