IPOB Will Participate In The 2023 Election – Biafra Group

 Indications have emerged that contrary to fears in some quarters, agitators of self-determination may not boycott the 2023 elections after all.

This is following the declaration of some pro-Biafra groups expressing their readiness to actively participate in the 2023 political process.

The Pro-Biafra groups urged “all Biafrans of voting age to quickly arm themselves with the Permanent Voter Card, PVC, for active participation in the 2023 polls”.

They argued that “if people with a conscience” were voted into power, agitators for self-determination including Biafra would no longer be treated as terrorists but “as lawful citizens enforcing their fundamental human rights.”

The pro- Biafra groups including Biafra Independence Organization, BIO; Igbo Revolutionary Movement, IRM; Eastern Peoples Renewal, EPR; Biafra Clergy Network, BCM; Biafra Rights Initiatives; among others, urged other pro-Biafra groups to mobilize their members for participation in the 2023 elections “assuming Biafra is not restored before then”.

They said they would embark on aggressive sensitization of Ndigbo both within and outside the South East to fully participate in the forthcoming elections.

According to them, the newly signed Electoral Act has raised the hope that the fraud that had hitherto characterized Nigeria elections might be a thing of the past.

They, however, said that their resolve to participate in 2023 did not in any way suggest that they had given up the struggle for Biafra, rather they were laying the foundation that would fast-track its actualization.
