Biafra: IPOB withdraws threat to stop Anambra election after meeting Igbo leaders

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has withdrawn its threat to stop the conduct of the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State.

The decision was reached after a meeting organised by a non-governmental organisation, the Ala-Igbo International Foundation with the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Leader of the foundation, Prof. Uzodinma Nwala, said after much deliberations which they claimed was still ongoing, IPOB has assured the Igbo leaders that it won’t disrupt the election.

The group said eligible voters are free to go out and exercise their franchise without fear of molestation.

The Ala-Igbo Development Foundation is an Igbo group that brings together Igbo academics, elders, clerics, patriotic public figures, women and youth, both at home and abroad, with the main objective of protecting and ensuring the survival of Ndigbo, their culture and civilisation as well as the development of Igboland.
