Kanu Back Pedals On Anambra Elections . Says It Will Hold

-





The cloud of uncertainty that has trailed preparation for the conduct of Anambra gubernatorial poll in November, following calls for boycott by the Indigenous People of Biafra ((IPOB), has been erased.


This followed withdrawal of the threat to stop the conduct of the November 18 governorship election by the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

The decision was reportedly reached after a meeting between the Ala-Igbo International Foundation and the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Speaking on Friday, leader of the foundation, Uzodinma Nwala, said, “After much deliberation, IPOB has assured us that it won’t disrupt the November 18 governorship election.

“We have jointly told people who are eligible to vote to go out and exercise their franchise without fear of molestation.”

It is not clear if Kanu’s shift in position also marks a beginning of change in tactics towards his agitation for a separate state of Biafra.

He had questioned the business of the Federal Government in the conduct of council elections. “When our people are in a position to make changes, they tend to abandon them for other issues. In the US, they call lo...

 Engr Ibinabo Reg Miller Love Letter To Buhari - Ibinabo Reg Miller Dear Buhari,  I hope this meets you well. I heard with my 3rd ear and read with my eyes without the glasses that you are going to probe the Emir of Kano State in the person of Sanusi S. and Charles Soludo, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Kindly expedite action in this. Treat this with dispatch. It doesn't matter the campaign of calumny and lies they peddled against Goodluck Jonathan that brought you to power. Buhari, please hurry up and probe Sanusi to account for the missing $42billion. I am going to love you with the whole of my life if only you can do this. Though you are not my spec, you are classless and not intelligent or smart in all your career/professional life but good at stealing by tricks in the guise of fighting corruption.
