From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) has enjoined southeast electorates participating in Saturday’s election to eschew fear and vote candidates of their choice.
Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful who has equally urged the Igbo electorates to defend themselves against attack by thugs who it claimed had been paid by politicians to cause mayhem during the election expressing doubt that Nigeria security agencies could provide adequate security for them.
“We Biafrans are a peaceful people but do not hesitate to defend yourselves from personal harm from political thugs if attacked anywhere in the contraption called Nigeria.
“As long as the Nigeria State is yet to grant Biafrans the date for referendum to decide their fate in the Nigeria entity, Biafrans should be wise and brave to at the same time. Look out for your interest and work towards protecting and supporting only those that have your interest at heart.
