IPOB Lacks The Power To Stop Anambra Gov Election, We’re On Ground – Police

ipob

Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Garba Umar, has said that the Indigenous People of Biafra does not have the capacity to halt the gubernatorial election in the state slated to hold November 18th.

This warning is coming against the alleged threats recently issued by the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Umar also noted the group has not confirmed that it issued the threat apart from what was reported in the media.

The commissioner added that police in the state were consulting with relevant stakeholders to guarantee peace and security before, during and after the election.

“The election has been fixed by the relevant federal government agency. Nobody can stop it. We have the capacity to provide a peaceful atmosphere in Anambra State for that election.

“I have not heard from IPOB that it would stop the election, apart from what was published in the media. But that is for the media.

“Nobody or group can issue such threat and succeed, because we have all it takes to subdue such threat. No group can do that.

“The people of the state have the right to have periodic elections to choose their leaders; nobody or group can stop them from exercising such right. We are fully on the ground and can’t allow it,” he said.

Umar said IPOB had no power to stop the poll, adding that the police would do its best to ensure that the exercise is peaceful.

    November 2017 Nigeria gubernatorial election in Anambra state and the 2019 Nigeria general election where no-one comes to vote and everybody sit-at-home in South-east,and by it the East-southEast or South-southEast or South-east are located.

    The election where everyone stay-at-home and no-one comes vote for any Nigeria’s President, Nigeria’s Governor, Nigeria’s Senator, or Nigeria’s House of Reps member in 2019.

    The Republic of Biafra appears in the East, and thus defines that cardinal point, and by it the East-southEast or South-southEast or South-east are located in the Southeast.

    Do not believe any negative report you read about Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra. The cabal had a meeting with all the news media in Nigeria last week and they agreed on waging media war against IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. All those reports never happened. They were all cooked up in their offices.
    When you hear “Kanu insulted Nwodo”, please do not believe. When you hear “Ijee group rejects Biafra”, please do not believe. When you hear “”Kanu fights with his parents”, please do not believe. They are all lies. The cabals are jolted. They are in their last fight. They will soon be defeated. All Hail Biafra.

    How many are these igbo political leaders? Do they really vote? Are their families in Nigeria? Do they come out to vote on election day? The answer is simply a Big No!!! The actual voters, who are the people, have now decided that they won’t vote, but if these igbo leaders as they are called say they won’t agree, then it’s easy, let them relocate their children and families to Nigeria to help them vote.
