A pro-Biafrra group, under the
aegis of Biafran Reformation Movement (BRM) on Monday accused the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu of taking actions inimical to
the overall interest of Ndigbo.
Leader of the group, Mr. Ndubuisi
Igwekani, who addressed journalists in Enugu said Kanu’s call for the boycott
of Anambra election was ill-conceived.
Igwekani insisted that the
forthcoming election must hold as anything on the contrary would lead to the
imposition of State of emergency on the State.
He averred that anybody that said
election would not take place in Anambra State was making a mistake, warning
that if the election fails to hold, the enemy would impose a leader on the
people because there would not be any vacuum.
“Anybody that says there won’t be
election is making mistake. There must be election in Anambra State.
“If we stop the election, our enemy will
impose state of emergency here and thereby bring another enemy to rule us.
“So, it is not in Igbo interest
for anybody to say that there won’t be election. Kanu and those proposing this
are making us to see them as enemies of Ndigbo. If a northerner should be
imposed on Anambra people, it will take us 20 years back.”
While speaking on the quit notice
on Igbos, the group warned that “if anything happens to any of our people in
the North, we shall hold Shettima responsible. No matter where he goes to hide,
we shall get him.
“We are, therefore, calling on
the Federal Government and the International community not to take it as empty
threat. Efforts should be made to protect our people because if anything
happens on the contrary, we don’t guarantee what will be the retaliatory effect
here.”
