IPOB Cancels Sit-at-home Order, Urges Participation In Anambra Election by etenyong(m): 8:11pm On Nov 04, 2021
The Indigenous People of Biafra has cancelled its one-week sit-at-home order it issued across the South-East.

IPOB said it called off the order after consultations with elders, traditional, and religious leaders from the region.

The group’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, made the disclosure in a statement on Thursday after denying IPOB’s involvement in the forthcoming Anambra governorship election.

He stated that it is not IPOB’s intention to add to the pains of the people it claims to fight for since all business activities would be brought to a halt with the sit-at-home order.

The spokesperson said in the statement, “Following the genuine intervention of our elders, esteemed traditional institutions/rulers and religious leaders, and after due consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement, and sequel to the fact that our elders have spoken in our terms, the Leadership of IPOB ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu hereby and immediately call off the one-week sit-at-home earlier declared to commence tomorrow, November 5 to November 10, 2021.

“We have equally considered several appeals by our mothers who earn their living based on their daily economic activities which will obviously be affected if Biafraland is locked down for one whole week. It’s never our intention to add to the pains of our people, hence our decision to suspend the sit-at-home.

“IPOB leadership is only interested in our referendum and peaceful agitation for self determination, and can not by under any guise be seen to be interfering with any electoral process.”

Good news so that APC won't capitalize on the boycott to write results and bring in soldiers to kill people

festacman:
United States is waiting for IPOB to disrupt Anambra State governorship election to classify it as a terrorist organization and cut off its main source of funding. US embassy in Nigeria follows IPOB activities and reports back. Maybe someone tipped them off. Nigeria diplomats who were already waiting to make a strong case would be disappointed and would now wait for another opportunity .

So it is fear of America rather than love of the common people that inspired this move. But it doesn't matter because sometimes threat can inspire wisdom or common sense.

One just hopes that the armed foot soldiers on ground get this memo in time and clearly.
You're not getting it
US is being diplomatic in their statement in visa ban. They're actually targeting federal government officials. How can you deploy troops to a region when there's no war but ignored the call for military deployment in the north west, even refusing to proscribed the bandits terrorists? They know what buhari is capable of doing.
