Biafra: No referendum, no elections in Anambra, other Southeast states – Kanu

Biafra: No referendum, no elections in Anambra, other Southeast states – Kanu
The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has stated that there would be no gubernatorial election in Anambra state and in the entire South East in 2019 if the Federal Government fails to hold referendum before the election.

 Kanu, speaking on Wednesday at his father’s palace in Afara Ukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State, faulted his exclusion from the ongoing stakeholders meeting in Aso Rock, saying he would not relent in his agitation for Biafra.

 He revealed that his members and other eligible voters in Anambra State would boycott the state gubernatorial election slated for November addin that the people of Southeast and others under the Old Eastern Region would not participate in the 2019 general election if the government ignores the demand for referendum.

“Nigerian government should build as many prisons as possible to jail all Biafrans because there is no going back and we are ready to go there (prisons) unless the federal government gives us Biafra,” he said.
“We are starting with Anambra come November this year. There will be no governorship election in Anambra State.
“In 2019, the whole of Biafra land will not vote for any President.

 “There will be no Senator, there will be no House of Reps, there will be no House of Assembly and there will be no councillorship elections in Biafra land if they (federal government) fail to call for a referendum.
“We are not like any other people. People like us don’t come twice. That’s why I know that with the last breath in this very body that Biafra will be restored.

 “There’s nothing anybody can do about it. Tell them that’s what I said. Nobody on this earth can stop Biafra.”

I pity President Buhari- Nasir El-Rufai says

Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he pities President Buhari because the two times he's become president of Nigeria was when the country was going through rough economic periods. El-Rufai said this while speaking at the Sunday Service of the Latter Rain Assembly which he attended yesterday July 31st. “We have always known that there is massive corruption in Nigeria but the revelations of the past one year have shocked even the most pessimistic of critics. Nearly 70 per cent of Nigeria’s oil revenues disappeared without a trace. Of course, there must be consequences for that. When we sit down with President Buhari these days, I pity him. I pity him because he has always become President anytime Nigeria is in trouble. First, it was after the NPN (National Party of Nigeria) government had almost grounded the economy (in 1984) and now, after a massive looting of the nation’s treasury; and he has to lead the team to fix it”he said Attend Professional Blogging
