IPOB may reverse no-election order in Anambra

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, may
reverse the no-election order he issued in Anambra State.

Kanu, who met with the leadership of Ala Igbo Development
Foundation in Owerri, the Imo State capital on Friday, over the
boycott order issued by IPOB on the Anambra State election, said
the decision to reverse the order would be considered by the entire
IPOB members not himself.

He said he had honoured the invitation based on the respect he
had for Igbo elders.

He insisted that his agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra
was based on justice, equity and fairness.

“I came because of my respect for elders. IPOB is not a violent
group. We are law abiding citizens of the society.

“What we discussed here today will guide us on the issue of
Anambra election. I will go and meet with the leadership of IPOB,”
he said.

The President of Ala Igbo Development Foundation, Prof. Uzodimma
Nwala, said that the meeting was to find a way of bringing lasting
peace in Anambra State over the forthcoming election in the
state.

Nwala said, “You can see our brother, Nnamdi Kanu, in our midst.
We have come to discuss the issue of mutual concern, especially on
the Anambra election. We are happy he is here with us.

“We are glad he has explained to us the reason the boycott order
was issued and that it was not his personal decision but that of
the IPOB leadership. We are meeting for the first time and will
still meet again. No decision has been taken (yet).”
