Biafra: IPOB’s decision to boycott Anambra election holds – Nnamdi Kanu

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has insisted that the group’s decision to boycott election in Anambra State stands.

In an an interview with The Sun, Kanu also claims no political or religious leader has been able pull the type of crowd that he does when he visits any town.

He said: “There is no visiting dignitary, Head of State, political or religious leader that has been able to command the type of crowd that come out anywhere I visit or any town I go to.

It has never been replicated or set as a precedence ever before. If I were to visit Lagos, it will be the same, If were to go to Kano, it will be the same thing. People will come out to see me because I preach the truth.”

On the November Anambra governorship election, Kanu said: “I gave a speech in Aba, Abia State on Sunday and I made it absolutely clear that the boycott stays.

We must boycott election in Anambra State. It is our civic responsibility to do so and that’s what we are going to do total and absolute boycott, to let the whole world understand the strength of IPOB on the ground, in Anambra State.”

Naija News had earlier reported that  Nigerian police has intensify effort to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

According to PUNCH, Kanu has been placed under surveillance, in a bid to prevent him from fleeing the country if the court revokes his bail and order his re-arrest.

Last week, the federal government approached the court to seek the revocation of Kanu’s bail for flouting the conditions given to him before he was released.
