IPOP (leader Nnamdi Kanu)
Leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called off boycott of the 2019
general election.
Kanu had urged Igbos not
to participate in the polls until certain conditions were met.
In a tweet Thursday
night, Kanu explained reason for the change of stance.
He said: “Having
confirmed this evening that all our preconditions and terms have been met,
signed, sealed and delivered; I hereby call-off the election boycott across
Biafraland on Feb. 16, 2019.
“I dedicate this
historic victory to the formidable #IPOB family worldwide.”
Meanwhile, General
Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin, Chief of Defence Staff, has warned that no form of
intimidation or harassment would be tolerated on election days.
A statement he signed on
Thursday said: “Members of the public are also advised to disregard the call to
stay at home on the day of the election being circulated in some parts of the
country.
“The stay-at-home
leaflets being circulated and similar on-line messages are part of the
handiwork of mischief makers who are bent on scuttling the process and should
be ignored.
“I want to assure the
general public that the security services are prepared to support the Police to
ensure safe conduct of the elections.”
