According to him, Anambra people should  chose a leader of their choice  and should not be intimidated by anybody, group of persons or security agents.

He said that credible intelligence available to them  confirmed that the Nigeria DSS has concluded arrangement to deploy a branch of their trained  group to Anambra state on 6th Day 2021, to unleash mayhem on the people and accuse IPOB members.

IPOB urged Anambrarians to vote wisely  and standby to protect their votes.

“No rigging of any kind will be tolerated on the Anambra State governorship election. It must be transparent, free and fair to all. We wish to thank Biafrans, IPOB members worldwide, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom for their continued support for our dogged struggle for independence.

“May we therefore, warn detractors, traitors and enemies of Biafra not to cause confusion by imputing motives to our decision. IPOB doesn’t expect anybody to observe, monitor or enforce the suspended order otherwise such action will be considered a rebellion to the highest leadership of our global movement.

“On the other hand, our oppressors should not take our decision as an act of cowardice. IPOB still believes that our elders, religious leaders, political leaders and various stakeholders will live up to their promises in their engagements and efforts towards securing the unconditional release of  our leader” he said . IPOB also urged   Biafrans and residents of Biafra to go about their lawful businesses without fear of any molestations”, he said.

According to the group all agents of darkness recruited by the  enemies to inflict pains on people under the guise of enforcing the sit-at-home are hereby warned to steer clear or brace up for the consequences of their evil action.

” IPOB will not relent in our  pursuit for Biafra freedom.  Nigeria government must give us date for Biafra referendum to decide where we want to belong” he said 

IPOB said following the genuine  intervention of elders, traditional Rulers and Religious Leaders as well as  due consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement cancelled the one week sit at home order .

“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 Biafra land 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 cannot by under any guise be seen to be interfering with any electoral process” he said
