Biafra Independence Movement (BIM) led by Ralph Uwazuruike has insisted that the forthcoming Anambra state governorship election must hold as scheduled. The group described those calling for the boycott of the election as enemy of the South East and called on the people to ignore the call and participate fully in the exercise by registering in the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) to enable them cast their votes in November.
The Abia South Zone leader of the movement, Okporie Nkama made the statement yesterday in a press conference held in Aba. He noted that BIM members who are registered voters in the state have been directed to participate in the election by voting for the candidate of their choice to facilitate the sustenance of democracy in the region.
The leader also hinted that the group has since commenced sensitization of electorate the Anambra, stressing that the exercise is to dissuade the people from falling for the antics of elements who are against the growth and development of the region.
“BIM is not in support of any individual or group calling for the boycott of Anambra governorship poll on November 18. When you boycott the election, you are selling your right and giving a chance to those who don’t want of Biafra to take over. Anambra election cannot affect the actualization of Biafra. Anyone calling for boycott is anti-Igbo. We have embarked on sensitisation visits to the 21 local government areas of Anambra State to urge people not to allow themselves to be deceived"
“There will be anarchy in Anambra if the election does not hold. As an organization that practices non violence, BIM warns Ndi Anambra to ensure that they turn out en masse to support their choice candidates during the election.”
