Former Niger Delta militant, Asari Dokubo, has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra of planning to work with the federal government to force a governorship candidate on the people of Anambra State.
The IPOB group had threatened to disenfranchise Anambra residents by enforcing a seven-day sit-at-home from November 5.
The group had threatened that it will go on with the lockdown if its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu is not released by the Federal Government.
Dokubo in a statement said the action of the outlawed group will make it enforce whichever candidate that Abuja prefers over Anambra people.
He disclosed this in a post on the official Facebook page of his Non-governmental organization, the Dokubo Asari Foundation.
The statement reads, “*URGENT ANNOUNCEMENT*
This is a public announcement for posterity!
“1: It has come to my attention that the DOS of IPOB has broadcasted a one-week Sit-at-home order in Igboland (as part of Biafra) starting from November 5.”
“2: It is public knowledge that the Gubernatorial Elections of Anambra State of Igboland are slated to take place on November 6.”
“3: It is therefore unequivocal that IPOB through its Sit-at-home order targets to disenfranchise Anambrarians from the Anambra Elections, from choosing their next Governor.”
“4: Let it be known that with this order, IPOB is effectively enthrowning whichever candidate that Abuja prefers over Anambrarians. *Let it be absolutely and clearly known to Ndiigbo that IPOB should be held singularly responsible for installing a puppet upon Anambra State, the Light of the Nation.”
“5: As offshoot from above, NDIIGBO should start drawing conclusions about the ultimate goals and targets of IPOB.
6: Naked facts abound that activities of IPOB have systematically created excuses (flimsy or otherwise) for handing Igboland over to the Military Forces of Abuja for occupation starting 2017. The reckless activities of IPOB today in view of the Anambra elections will now institutionalize the occupation of Anambra via the ballot box. NDIIGBO, be informed before it happens.”
