The Indigenous People of Biafra movement (IPOB) said that it has no plan to disrupt the 2023 general elections in the southeastern part of the country.
IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful made this known in a statement to journalists on Saturday in reaction to violent comments made by a breakaway member of IPOB, Simon Ekpa.
The Finland-based resident had threatened that the IPOB faction under his leadership would not allow any election to hold in the region.
But IPOB has distanced itself from Ekpa’s statement, saying violence was never part of its strategies as it continues to make its demand for secession. The IPOB movement was named a terrorist group in 2017 and banned by the Nigerian government.
