The Imo State governor, Hope Uzodimma, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) have received a warning from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) not to rig the next governorship election on November 11.

In a statement released on Friday by Emma Powerful, the organization’s media and publicity secretary, IPOB warned the electoral authority not to tamper with the election results.

It claimed that INEC had gathered representatives from each of the state’s Local Government Areas to rig the election results in Governor Uzodimma’s favor.

Even if IPOB abstains from participating in the fraudulent political selection process in Nigeria known as elections, we will not stand by and let the corrupt INEC officials to continue promoting wickedness in Imo State and, by extension, the South-East region, on behalf of the Nigerian government.

“INEC is not independent; rather, it is entirely reliant on the ruling administration or any wealthy politician who lines their own coffers.

“However, in this coming election in Imo State, INEC officials must be very circumspect not to throw Imo State into crisis by becoming willing tools to renew another four years-mandate of suffering, hunger, and killings.

 

“INEC officials must not impose a rejected candidate on Imo indigenes. IPOB members are not politicians and neither partisan, but we are against any political party or government that is toxic to our people.

“INEC officials that Hope Uzodinma handpicked and drafted to rig the Imo State election should be very careful not to buy a market that comes with heavy prices.

“We want these drafted INEC officials to know that Imo State people are groaning in pains from a killer government and it will be suicidal for them to subvert their wishes in this coming election because of money or threat.

“If you can’t stand the threat and can’t say no to bribes to subvert the will of Imo citizens, you have the time to back off. But should you subvert the will of the people, be ready for the consequences. Ndimo and IPOB intelligence in Imo State are watching.

 

The IPOB intelligence has uncovered some INEC officials that have been drafted to various Imo State local government areas to compromise election results in favour of Hope Uzodinma and APC.

“All these identified and named officials are from outside Imo State except one official. We advise every one of them to be professional or back off if they can’t be neutral and do their job honestly. If they insist on doing the dirty job, then they should get ready for the consequences.”

IPOB called on Imo citizens and the people of the Southeast to watch out for INEC officers during the election, stressing, “Anyone who compromises the November 11, 2023, governorship election in Imo State should be held accountable in whatever format available and the person should be pursued to his or her home for betraying Ndimo state.”

“IPOB hereby advises willing voters in Imo State to go out and vote their preferred governorship candidate and defend their votes on the November 11, 2023 governorship election.”
