No Going Back On Election Boycott — IPOB by 13Ebiscoo: 7:13am On Jan 16, 2019
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB on Tuesday insisted that there is no going back on its stance on 2019 election boycott.

This came on the heels of an ongoing speculations and rumors in certain quarters, including discussions on some electronic media platforms and newspaper publications.

IPOB claimed the rumour is mischievously crafted to misinterpret its leader’s address on Saturday, January 12, 2019

A statement by the group's media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful stated that Nigerians, after listening to the broadcast, insinuated that its leader had made a U-turn by asking IPOB members and Biafrans to participate in Abia and Ebonyi states.

The group insisted that despite its call for election boycott, it will still work to ensure that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and his counterpart, Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, never return to office for a second term.

The statement reads in part, 'Therefore, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to state categorically to all and sundry that our resolve to stop Okezie Ikpeazu and David Umahi does not affect IPOB position towards boycotting the upcoming presidential election in February this year.

"It is crystal clear that various interpretations emanating from certain quarters and individuals about our leader's interactive session via Radio Biafra are blatant false designed to pander to base instincts of those who wish to distract IPOB from achieving our aim next month.

"IPOB is a highly sophisticated movement that have demonstrably proven over many years our capacity to handle multiple and even complex directives from the leadership.

"There is no ambiguity in the instructions our leader gave on Saturday. If anything, it was crystal clear from the broadcast that those responsible for the kidnapping and abduction of our people by the army and DSS in recent days must be held accountable for it.

"David Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu must be made to feel the rage of the people and this will best be served by ensuring their defeat at the polls.'

IPOB maintained that the broadcast and interactive session via Radio Biafra from Israel by its leader was purely educational and rightly sought to enlighten Biafrans and right thinking individuals and groups who are victims and witnesses of Operation Python Dance, to the evil being committed against Biafrans by David Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu.

The statement added, "Our resolve to ensure Okezie Ikpeazu and David Umahi failure during this coming election must be enforced no matter the level of propaganda, abductions, arrests, humiliation, intimidation and killings of innocent citizens of Biafra.

"From next month Okezie Ikpeazu, David Umahi and co will realize and understand that IPOB movement is rooted in every clan and community in Biafraland. Those seeking to deflect our attention away from removing Umahi and Ikpeazu are wasting their time because their complicity in bringing Operation Python Dance to our land is an unpardonable atrocity against our land and God in heaven.

"Anybody in support of Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu will be seen as a supporter of the killing of IPOB family members which in turn will make that person an enemy of the people.

"We shall boycott the forthcoming presidential elections and every other with the notable exception of Abia and Ebonyi where the incumbents, Okezie Ikpeazu and Dave Umahi are using their positions to facilitate the kidnapping, arrest, torture and execution of our people. This recent misconception by some individuals who intend to have Umahi and Ikpeazu return to office, will never deter us because they don’t exist in the real world. They only inhabit the realm of gossip.

"The decision by IPOB to shutdown Biafraland on the election day has gone far and cannot be changed or stopped unless our terms are met.

People are at liberty to twist, fabricate and misunderstand IPOB, but the people of Biafra understand clearly where we are going. We will continue to deploy all forms of civil disobedience, most notably boycott of every Nigerian election until they give us date for Biafra referendum."

IPOB further said that its aim towards achieving the set goal and desire cannot be truncated by an orchestrated attempt to misinform the public by enemies of Biafra both within and without.

"Our decision to shutdown Biafraland on 16th of February is sacrosanct", the statement stated.

Make sure you read this message below:

Muhammadu Buhari is the most tribalistic and religious extremist President Nigeria has ever had since independence.

How Please read on carefully...

In this shocking write-up, you will discover how Buhari is killing your life and even your future as a Southern Nigerian youth.

Before you say its because he is Fulani or Hausa, let me ask you, is Buhari the first Hausa or Fulani man to rule Nigeria, so why is everybody accusing him of being a tribal bigot Before Buhari, we had IBB, Abacha, Shagari, Abdulsalami, Yaradua, and nobody accused them of being tribalistic despite their own leadership flaws, they didn't divide Nigeria along ethnic and religious lines, only Buhari has done that without shame.

Buhari retired a Southern man who merited the position and got appointed by VP Osinbajo as DG of DSS, Buhari became angry and retired him to appoint his junior, Yusuf Magaji Bichi as new DG of DSS.

Buhari ignored all the Police DIGs and retired them to appoint a low ranked Idris Potun as IGP, now Buhari has retired another set of DIGs to appoint another Northern Muslim as IGP, when we have a woman from the south who happens to be a senior which Buhari ought to have used to at least encourage Nigerian women in Police service by appointing that woman as first Nigeria's female IGP, and to balance power in a multi-tribal nation like Nigeria, he instead decided to retire that woman that worked so hard to attain the pinnacle of her career, what a tribal religious bigot Nigeria has as President.

Under Buhari, the entire security architecture and apparatchik of Nigeria is predominantly and wholly dominated by one section of the country. Thus, about 16 out of 17 key security appointees hail from PMB's section of the country. From the Minister of Internal Affairs, IGP, DG, NIA, DG, DIA, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Air Staff, to the Comptrollers-General of Customs, Immigration, Prisons, Federal Fire Service, Commandant-General of NSCD, Attorney-General of the Federation, the story is the same (North, mostly Moslems).

Let us add other key national positions such as acting Chairman, EFCC, SGF, Chief of Staff to the President, MD, NNPC, Minister of Petroleum Resources (PMB himself); Heads of DPR, PEF, NPA, FAAN, NCAA, NRC, National security, Printing and Minting company, AMCON, NDIC, NAICON, Nigeria has been totally northernised! Let us peep into NBC, NTA, INEC, FHA, FERMA, FRCN, NOA, NHIS, NTDA, TETFUND, UBEC, NPHDA, NCC, NACA, NIMET, BPE, NOSDRA, NUC, Accountant-General, NEMA, Budget office, NIRSA, and you wonder if we are in the “Northern Republic of Nigeria”, or “Federal Republic of the North”, or Republic of Northern Nigeria”.

It is so ugly, so nauseating, so dirty. It means that those who determine the security direction and fate of Nigeria can hold a meeting of the security situation of Nigeria and speak only the language of Hausa, in a country of 374 ethnic groups (Otite onigu); or 480 ethnic groups (M. Onwuejeogwu), that speak about 520 languages, out of which 9 have become extinct.

Now for those Southern Nigerian youths who think this does not matter and yet they are fasting and praying for a good job either for themselves or for their siblings, relative, friend or kinsman or those praying for promotion as current civil servants in Nigeria's federal civil service, let me tell you the meaning of what Buhari is doing to you that comes from Southern Nigeria, read carefully below:

The consequences of this deliberate bias and tribalistic appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari is that these government parastatals will be dominated by Northerners (especially the Northern Muslims), resulting in almost rapid/biased promotion of Northern federal civil servants to the next-in-line up to the next 3 generations to come. They are now in top positions to fix their fellow northern youth graduates immediately they are done with NYSC even without waiting for formal civil service recruitment, this is happening in all Nigerian ministries, agencies, parastatals and government bodies as we speak.

It means that Northerners will be getting more and more employed into Nigerian federal civil service jobs than the southerners who by far have more qualified graduates.

It also means that federal civil servants from the north will be getting faster promotion and career growth than southern civil servants currently working in all federal ministries, parastatals, agencies and bodies.

It then means that in the next 15 - 30yrs, Northern Nigerians will have more decision makers deciding the future of Nigeria, and they will also have more number of top ranking civil servants qualified to become next:

Permanent Secretaries
Directors
DIGs
AIGs
CPs
DCPs
CMDs
Customs Comptroller's
Assistant Comptrollers of Customs
Army Generals
Major Generals
Colonels
Lieutenants and Lt. Generals
Captains
Air Vice Marshals
Naval Officers
And many more.

Now, tell me why then did you waste your time going to school and studying hard to graduate with good grades if you cannot use your acquired knowledge to serve your fatherland just because one President was so tribalistic that he saw you and your tribe not fit enough to serve Nigeria

Now, have you noticed the rapid increase in the number of Southern Nigeria youth graduates becoming forced and unprepared businessmen, women and small scale traders while their course mates and classmates who come from the north are currently working in top government agencies, ministries, parastatals and earning far salary even when they contribute nothing meaningful to Nigeria's growth

It is part of the effect of Buhari's biased appointments and northernization supremacy agenda, or why do you think Northerners love Buhari so much despite his brazzen corruption, leadership failure, dictatorship and incompetence They know that only him can advance their selfish, wicked agenda against other Nigerian regions and tribes.

Southern Nigerian youths think beyond all these APC, PDP party thing. Go for what guarantees you a better future not what will make you feel good online and offline, or what will make selfish political godfathers from your tribe happier and richer

If you are a youth from Igbo o, Yoruba o, Ijaw o, Ogoni o, Calabar o, Bini o, Efik o, Itshekiri o, Kalabari o, Eket o, or any other Southern Nigeria tribe, don't vote for Buhari, he does not value your tribe, he does not want your well being, forget about party, Buhari does not care about you or where you come from.

You can play party politics in your state, but in terms of President, vote for a liberal minded candidate who is not known for tribal segregation like Buhari. Vote wisely! Buhari is never a choice, reject him and his bigotry with your PVC.

Share to inform your friends an family.

Pls Igbos go and vote, vote against Buhati and all non performing governors in Southeast.

Dont listen to Nnamdi Kanu pls

Yes.
That is our Supreme Leader speaking.

No referendum, no election in Igboland. Atiku can go campaign in Dutse and Ijebu Ode, nothing for him in Biafra land.

What did Atiku do for Biafrans when Buratai sent his soldiers to flog us koboko in the East?
