IPOB not interested in elections, wants referendum – Spokesman

The Indigenous People of Biafra on Monday described the forthcoming general elections as a jamboree, saying it has not interest in the elections.

In a statement on Monday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, the proscribed separatist group said all it wanted was a date for referendum to exit Nigeria.

It, however, dissociated itself from incessant attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission in some parts of the South-East, especially within the Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State and Orsuihiteukwa in the Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.

The IPOB spokesman also disowned a rumoured fresh sit-at-home order in the South-East.

Powerful said, “IPOB condemns the recent attacks on INEC offices and staff in Ihiala LGA, Anambra State. The criminal gangs operating within Ihiala LGA and Orsuihiteukwa in Orsu LGA, Imo State are primarily funded and sponsored by unscrupulous politicians to demonise IPOB and ESN operatives.
