\n
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cancelled its one week sit-at-home order across the South-East.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n
IPOB said the order was called off following consultations with elders, traditional, and religious leaders from the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, disclosed this in a statement he issued on Thursday evening.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
According to Powerful: \u201cFollowing the genuine intervention of our elders, esteemed traditional Institutions \/Rulers and Religious Leaders, and after a due consideration of the positive impacts of their engagement, and sequel to the fact that Our elders have spoken in our terms , the Leadership of IPOB ably lead by MAZI NNAMDI Kanu hereby and immediately CALL OFF THE ONE WEEK SIT AT HOME earlier declared to commence tomorrow, November 5 to November 10, 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have equally considered several appeals by our mothers who earn their living based on their daily economic activities which will obviously be affected if Biafra land is locked down for one whole week. It\u2019s never our intention to add to the pains of our people, hence our decision to suspend the sit-at-home.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cIPOB leadership is only interested in Oor referendum and peaceful agitation for self determination, and can not by under any guise be seen to be interfering with any electoral process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The separatist group urged people of the Anambra State to come out en masse and vote for candidates of their choice on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people of Anambra State should go out enmasse and peacefully exercise their franchise come 6th November 20121 and accordingly, chose a leader of their choice and should not be intimidated by anybody, group of persons or security agents.<\/p>\n

\u201cCredible intelligence available to us confirmed that the Nigeria DSS has concluded arrangement to deploy a branch of their trained terrorist group to Anambra state come 6th Day 2021, to unleash mayhem on our people and attribute the killing to peaceful IPOB members.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cAnambrarians should vote and standby to protect their votes. No rigging of any kind will be tolerated on the Anambra State governorship election. It must be transparent, free and fair to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to thank Biafrans, IPOB members worldwide, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom for their continued support for our dogged struggle for independence,\u201d IPOB said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
