Anambra Elections: MASSOB Tells Igbo To Acquire Voters Card

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has called on all eligible voters in the five South-east states to immediately take part in the ongoing voter’s registration exercise.

MASSOB is asking all Igbos to acquire the voters card as it will be instrumental in readiness for a possible referendum for the emergence of the Republic of Biafra.

Although, the latest order is a departure from the position of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu who has asked South-east electorate to boycott any further election in the zone beginning with the Anambra State governorship poll on November 18 until a referendum is ordered, MASSOB said that even if the UN comes to Nigeria to conduct a referendum Nigeria has a critical role to play.

In a statement signed by the National Secretary, MASSOB, Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke in Enugu, the pro-Biafra group urged the citizens not to fail to register at the nearest INEC office.

The statement read, “That for a proposed statehood of Biafra to be ordered and declared by United Nations, the voting population of Biafrans through the registration and possession of the voters card must be captured in the national demography of the existing political territory (Nigeria) from which the voting population of coming statehood (Biafra) is seeking a separation.

“That it is never an all comers affairs, even if UN comes in the existing mother country (Nigeria) to conduct and supervise a referendum that will determine the future of Biafra, she still has a critical role to play. The registration and possession of the voters card is for the Biafra referendum.”
