Following the statement from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that it is coming to dialogue with IPOB over the forthcoming Anambra governorship election, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it has no business with the commission saying it doesn’t recognize INEC as an institution.
IPOB said it doesn’t know whether or not INEC exists. In a statement signed by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, the group said, “We have nothing to do with the election INEC is conducting, and we wonder why INEC would want to drag us into the election”.
