October 30, (THEWILL) – The Senate Minority Leader, Eyinnaya Abaribe, has disclosed that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and his group never said elections should not be held in Anambra State.
Abaribe said fifth columnists are behind the no-election order.
Speaking during a town hall meeting with the leadership and students of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (NAU), Awka, Abaribe said Kanu’s lawyers confirmed that the order did not come from their leader.
“Who gave the order that there will be no election? IPOB has never said that there will be no election in Anambra. It is the handwork of 5th columnists”, Abaribe said.
There has been tension over the planned conduct of the November 6th governorship election in Anambra State after IPOB threatened to lock down the South-East for a week, effective November 5, if Kanu is not released on or before November 4, 2021.
