Tinubu Shuns IPOB, Fixes Campaigns In Anambra, Imo For Mondays

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu has fixed his campaign rallies in Anambra State and Imo State on Mondays.

The APC and Tinubu’s decision to hold their presidential campaigns on Mondays contradicts the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the Southeast region.

The timetable released by the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) shows that Mr Tinubu will hold a campaign rally and a stakeholders’ engagement in Imo State on Monday, 21 November.

On Monday, 30 January, the campaign train will move to Anambra, the home state of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.

Recall IPOB declared the sit-at-home order in August 2021 to protest and demand the release of their leader Nnamdi Kanu, who is standing trial on treason and terrorism charges by the Nigerian government.

Violators of the sit-at-home order have been victims of violence and killings by gunmen in southeast states on Mondays. Vehicular movements and commercial activities are on halt in compliance with IPOB’s order.

In early October, IPOB said it has no plans to disrupt the 2023 election and accused the government of masterminding insecurity in the Southeast zone.

Days later, an appeal court acquitted Kanu of all charges against him but the government said it will “consider all available options open to us on the judgment.”

IPOB has since approached the Supreme Court challenging the October 28, 2022, decision of the Court of Appeal, which granted a stay of execution of its order discharging and acquitting him.

Moferere:
It is called courage. And that's what Peter is lacking

SmartPolician:
Media and sensational journalism; nobody is daring anyone because ordinary people will bear the brunt.

BTW, IPOB has already made it clear that they are not the people stopping others from going about their normal businesses on Monday. Some criminal elements have hijacked the struggle.

However, the APC will change the date before the campaign dates.

Save this comment.

They will change date of that campaign before the actual date. Jot this comment down somewhere.
Besides, IPOB has nothing to do with the sit at home
They have made it crystal clear to everyone that the sit at home has nothing to do with them

Buh journalists from the waste side will still be doing their normal stupid propaganda

beerfraud:
Fulani are so powerful in Yeeboe land
They declared sit at home and you foolishly obey

Mystic216:

It’s too early for me to engage a malnourished imp
Get busy with your life and leave hatred.

JoeNL22:
Tinubu wants to prove a point. And he has every right to do so. However, because he campaigns in the SE on Monday doesn't mean he will win the elections, and because obi doesn't campaign on Mondays' in the SE doesn't mean he will loose the elections. Everything is all about perspective. But we Nigerians are looking for "Perspectives" We want to take back our country from the Dubious Riots(old hags) that has taken our dear beloved Country backward. And who will usher us into our New world?. Your Guess is as a good as mine. Thank you. Nigeria must be great again!
