APGA Attacts Nnamdi Kanu Over Election Boycot, Says It's Irresponsib by Youngadvocate(m): 9:00am On Jun 27, 2017
The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) established by late Odumegwu Ojukwu, has slammed the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for calling for the boycott of the forthcoming gubernatorial poll in Anambra State.

This was contained in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Ifeatu Obiokoye, yesterday Monday, wherein the party described the call by Kanu as “irresponsible and devoid of focus”.

To them, Kanu was becoming arrogant, and so, they advised him to drop his “emperor” perception of himself “and be humble to the true leadership of Ndigbo for a proper and better articulation of the Biafra struggle”.

“Nnamdi Kanu’s call for a boycott of elections in the South-East, beginning with the governorship polls scheduled for November 18, 2017 in Anambra is irresponsible, irredentist and totally devoid of any focus.

“One must appreciate that for different logical reasons and perception, the Biafra concept has attracted favourable comments among our people, ostensibly borne out of the marginalisation of Ndigbo in the Nigerian state.

“While youths of the East are agitating for Biafra, the Arewa youths are equally restive; the same goes for Níger Delta youths and youths from Oduduwa states.

“In this popular agitation for Biafra, Ndigbo have not instituted a separatist movement or a terrorist gang as it were. We are more concerned about the continued existence of Nigeria under the present structural arrangement”, the statement read.

The party chose restructuring and the implementation of the 2014 National Conference resolutions “as a certain way to peaceful co-existence among ethnic nationalities and for dousing tension”.

According to Daily post, APGA warned Kanu not to be carried away by the success of the May 30 sit-at-home call, which it attributed to fear.

The party reminded Kanu that the right to vote and be voted for was a universally declared right under the United Nations Charter of People’s and Citizenship Right, and in the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

We must learn from our mistakes!

In 2011, the pro-Biafra community—online and offline-- supported, campaigned, and even took bullets in order to ensure the election of Rochas Okorocha, under a supposed Igbo party-APGA.

We had thought, though naively, that Rochas Okorocha, a product of Pan-Igbo party would engage in our emancipation initiative, serve Igbo interests, as well as be a vehicle for activation of Biafranism within the context of Nigeria’s flawed polity.

But we were dead wrong!

On assuming function at Imo State House, Rochas Okorocha abandoned Igbo advocacy, Biafra nationalism, and joined GAMBARIS in Nigeria to preserve the status quo that puts our people in gross disadvantage. The rest is now history.

We took that as a political miscalculation—being that Rochas Okorocha’s paternity has always been questionable.

We decided not to resign to fate nor give up on our utopian dream of crusading for Biafra within the framework of 1999 ‘’Abubakar’s slave constitution.’’

When the opportunity called again for Anambra gubernatorial election involving Chris Ngige of All Progressive Congress (APC) and Willy Obiano of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in 2013, we mobilised, we campaigned, and ensured that Willy Obiano got elected; presumably to be the arrow-head of Biafra struggle within purview of Nigerian political space.

We misfired again!

To our greatest dismay, cauchemar and nightmare, Willy Obiano turned himself to an anti-Biafra monster that consumed the lives of many of our fervent disciples in Anambra state and its environs.
He killed pro-Biafra agitators with so much relish and sans qualms.

Willy Obiano not only aided and abated the Nigerian state to kill our people he also outlawed all pro-Biafra activities, rallies and programmes in ANAMBRA STATE.

He became a passionate ’’one Nigerianist’’, an avowed defender of Northern cum Arewa hegemony in Igboland.

The home truth is that, our political leaders cannot salvage our situation in Nigeria.

Once they get elected they become instant beneficiaries of the oppressive polity.

They may be ‘’Biafranised’’ or ‘’Biafra-minded’’ ab initio; but the 1999 constitution makes every political leader in Nigeria subjected to whims and caprices of whomever is elected at Aso Rock. In Nigeria, every power flows from the centre.

The system has inbuilt mechanism that whips any opposition to this skewed federation into line.

Abuja controls all the security apparatuses, electoral institutions and the judicial process, hence making it possible to rebel against the system—put differently, the centre controls all the components units in such a manner that makes internal reforms impossible.

Our political salvation cannot come from participating in this repressive entity.

We cannot be free by cooperating with the oppressors in the name of election.

No amount of political moves will force the feudal North to amend the constitution that makes them the masters of Nigeria—the lords of the Manor--the special breed/race! The untouchables! The captains of our collective destiny!

Politicking under the shadow of 1999 constitution is tantamount to validation of slavery!

Our land is already under Fulani conquest—the problem being that many have not yet realised it.
Reason why our Governors smile foolishly to Abuja to thank them whenever they massacre our people mercilessly.

Know it now. Whoever you elect will still be controlled (assuming they let your votes counts) by the Jihadists up North—be they Biafra-minded, ‘Biafranised’’ or not.

That is the reality!

Then what do we do now?

Our only hope lies in civil resistance, civil disobedience, including but not strictly limited to only electoral boycotts.

It worked in United States during the segregation era, under the political mentorship of Rev. Martin Luther King. It worked in India under the tutelage of Mahatma Ghandi.

Under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s leadership, I have no doubt it would work for us. Power belongs to the masses. Only our will, our resolve and determination can set us free. Just believe!

We must use the INSTRUMENTALITY of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE to force the Nigerian state to give us date for referendum. We have got nothing to lose.

Obey the call of electoral boycott OR validate your slavery with your own vote.

THE CHOICE IS ALL YOURS!

APGA folks don't want to lose their seats in the Nigerian government. I thought they wanted Biafuro grin

APGA are feeling insecure because Kownu is being subversive towards them

Masses don't know the power they hold. Imagine if people boycotted elections until Nigeria is reformed and proper system is agreed by all. But no, someone will mock others.

APGA is jittery because they know money.to be made during election will be lost, they know someone is standing up to crooked ways.


Boycott useless Nigerian elections y'all, boycott and demand education is funded, roads built and electricity funded. Boycott​ and demand for police reforms and stop of military harrassment on civilians.

Boycott elections, I support it, I support IPOB.

OP correct your word, it is attacks not "attacts".
For me the electoral boycott is a welcome development, we can't be running round a circle, we have to be definite and purposeful. But I would join the voice of those that says that it is better we register and not vote, than to not register and not vote. When you are registered it is recorded that there were a particular figure of registered voters who did not come out to vote as against the unregistered ones who are not recognised.

Since we all know there's nothing like a Referendum clause in our constitution, what about recalling those representing us in the NASS, INEC organizes election and only those sympathetic to the referendum clause are elected.

I have previously stated that if Kanu while enjoying the bail granted by the courts of Nigeria, does anything to derail the democratic stability or process of the SE and Nigeria, he would only make himself the beneficiary of the state terror the states and federal government can supply.
