IPOB urged Igbos to defend themselves from any thuggery attack during Saturday’s election.
In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, the separatist group, said Igbos should not be intimidated into making the wrong choice during the election.
The statement reads partly: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who is illegally detained in DSS solitary confinement, wish to urge Biafrans to be very vigilant and prepared to defend their personal liberty and freedom of choice tomorrow being 18th March 2023 in the event that any of them chooses to participate in the Nigerian Selection process.
“We Biafrans are a peaceful people but do not hesitate to defend yourselves from personal harm from political thugs if attacked anywhere in the contraption called Nigeria. As long as the Nigeria State is yet to grant Biafrans the date for referendum to decide their fate in the Nigeria entity, Biafrans should be wise and brave to at the same time.
