Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB never said an election would not be held in Anambra – Abaribe

Eyinnaya Abaribe, Senate Minority Leader, has revealed that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, and his group never said that elections should not be held in Anambra State.

According to Abaribe, the no-election order is the work of fifth columnists rather than Kanu or IPOB.

During a town hall meeting with Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU) leadership and students in Awka, Abaribe stated that Kanu’s lawyers confirmed that the order did not come from their leader.

“Who gave the order to cancel the election?” IPOB has never stated that no election will be held in Anambra. “It’s the work of 5th columnists,” Abaribe explained.

The planned conduct of Anambra State’s governorship election on November 6th has caused controversy.

According to rumors, IPOB has declared that the upcoming election will not take place.

IPOB, on the other hand, has denied issuing such an order, emphasizing that it has nothing to do with Nigeria’s electoral system.
