The leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has stated that
Anambra governorship election will not hold
if Nigeria is not restructured before October
1, 2017”,
He reportedly gave the condition on Monday
at an event in Enugu where he received
awards from three Igbo groups, including
the Eastern Consultative Assembly and the
Igbo Students’ Association.
According to him, the election will only be
held in the state if the federal government
restructures the country before October
2017 and gives him a date for a
referendum.
“There will be no election in Anambra State
come November 2017 and going forward
there won’t be any election until they give
me a date for a referendum.
“They know what to do; convene a meeting,
I will send my rep; give us a date for the
referendum, that is the only way.
“In which part of this earth have you ever
found a measure of self-determination to be
equated to war except in Nigeria because
the political leaders do not understand the
difference between self-determination and
war?
“Self-determination does not mean hate
speech; the status quo can no longer
remain. Like my brother Evangelist Eliot
Ugochukwu-Uko said, if on or before
October 1 nothing happens in terms of
substantial restructuring, then there won’t
be any election; the people will support us.”
– He was quoted as saying
The Anambra governorship election is to
hold on the 18th of November 2017.
