Former presidential candidate, Kingsley Moghalu has
criticized the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, ahead of Saturday’s
governorship election in Anambra State.
Moghalu said the tactics used by IPOB harms the people of
the South-East greatly.
In a series of tweets, the former Deputy Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said the sit-at-home order by IPOB was a
challenge.
He accused the government of failing to handle the issue of
IPOB properly.
According to Moghalu, rather than rely on force, the
government should opt for negotiation.
Moghalu urged the people of the State to file out and
perform their civic right on Saturday.
He wrote: “The complex problem of the IPOB sit-at-home order
is a challenge. But that’s why there is a heavy security presence.
“@NigeriaGov has not handled the IPOB issue well, with its
exclusive reliance on force instead of including dialogue among its options in
what is essentially a political conflict that has turned into criminality.
“Even worse is the failure and illegitimacy of the region’s
traditional political elite, a vacuum IPOB occupied. But IPOB’s tactics are
harming the Igbo greatly.
“Say what anyone may, the violence, state of fear, and
staggering economic productivity losses, increase rather than reverse
marginalization and steals hope from the future of our young people in the
region. Vote on Saturday. Vote for our hopes, not for our fears.”
IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, has resorted to
civil disobedience in pursuit for the actualization of Biafra.
Following Kanu’s arrest, the separatist group ordered a
sit-at-home across the Southeast to push for his release.
The latest sit-at-home order starts tomorrow, while the
Anambra governorship election holds on Saturday.
