IPOB: We’ll resist attempts to compromise Imo guber poll
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned political actors against rigging the Imo state governorship election.
The gubernatorial election is scheduled for November 11.
In a statement issued on Friday, Emma Powerful, IPOB spokesperson, said the state must not be thrown into a “political crisis” during and after the election.
The separatist group said though it “does not get involved” in elections, it “won’t be silent” and watch “corrupt” stakeholders “perpetuate evil” in the state and south-east.
IPOB cautioned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) against conniving with politicians to compromise the integrity of the election.
“IPOB members are not politicians and neither partisan, but we are against any political party or government that is toxic to our people,” Powerful said.
Powerful blamed the insecurity in Imo on the state government, alleging that Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo, is playing politics with people’s lives.
