Monarch, Oil Magnate Warn Ndigbo Against Boycott Of Elections
Igwe Nick Obi, the traditional ruler of Nnobi, one of the key towns that make up Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State and a foremost Oil and Gas magnate; and Comrade Chris Ibenegbu, the Assistant Secretary of Nnobi Welfare Organisation (NWO) have warned the Ndigbo on the dangers of boycotting the next month February general election in the country.
They advised them that they should come out en masse and vote in the election adding that boycotting it would have a disastrous effect on their future and welfare in the Nigeria nation.
Obi and Ibenegbu spoke during the last Ofala festival and 86th birthday ceremony of the traditional ruler of Nnobi held last Wednesday in the town.
Igwe Nick Obi said, “The Igbos should participate fully in the election to vote in candidates they feel that will represent them well, boycotting or developing apathy to the election will not help us; let everybody come and vote for whoever they feel will rule them well.”
On his part Comrade Ibenegbu noted, “Every Igbo son or daughter that is eligible should make sure that he or she voted, boycotting the election will be a bad omen for the Igbos, let us wake up and do the needful.”
Obi and Ibenegbu commended the general peace in Nnobi town and urged the warring factions in the community to close ranks to move the town forward and attract development to the area.
They expressed gratitude to Chief Willie Obiano, the state governor, for appointing some of their people in his cabinet as well as developing the town.

THE TRADITIONAL RULER OF NNOBI COMMUNITY HAS MADE HIS OPINION KNOWN . SADLY,THE BILLIONAIRE TRADITIONALIST IS A SELFISH MORNARCH WHO CARES ABOUT OIL MONEY MADE AT THE EXPENSE OF NDIGBO AND OTHERS WHO HAVE SAME RIGHTS BUT ARE DENIED DO TO NEPOTISM AND MAN- KNOW- MAN CHARACTERIZED IN THE BRITISH NIGERIA. NO DOUBT THAT EVEN THE STOOL WAS APPROPRIATED/ ACQUIRED NOT BECAUSE IS TRADITIONALLY THE RIGHT MAN TO OCCUPY NNOBI TRADITIONAL SEAT. CHIEF NICK OBI BOUGHT HIS SEAT WITH CORRUPT OIL MONEY NOT DEPOSITED EVEN ON OBI FAMILY LANDS. SO, HE IS NOT QUALIFIED TO ADVISE NDIGBO ON OUR COLLECTIVE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES RIGHTS HERE IN ZOO NIGERIA AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY. THE GENERAL GOOD OF NDIGBO IS WELL ARTICULATED IN IPOB AND LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY INCLUDING THE BOYCOTT OF ELECTIONS IN THE BRITISH CONTRAPTION CALLED NIGERIA ALL OVER BIAFRALAND. WRONG ADVICE IS NOT ALWAYS FROM THE ILLITERATE POOR. BUT FROM A RICH,CORRUPT AND SELFISH MORNARCH TOO! BIAFRANS COMPLETELY REJECT THE NNOBI MORNARCH SAME WAY NIGERIA,THE BRITISH CONTRAPTION IS ROUNDLY REJECTED BY THE BIAFRANS!
