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.
