The Indigenous People of Biafra has urged all its members to boycott the All-Progressives Congress tickets, ahead of the 2027 election.
According to the proscribed organisation, the decision to shun the APC is hinged on the imprisonment of its leader Nnamdi Kanu, and the Federal government’s lack of willingness to allow Mr. Kanu to file an appeal of his conviction on terrorism charges.
The IPOD said in a statement Sunday through its Fourth Administration of the Directorate of State, DOS, that though the organisation is non-partisan it is going spear heading a boycott of the APC because of the “geographic calculations” of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“IPOB remains strictly non-partisan. However, we see through the geopolitical games being played. Those advising President Tinubu and the British government to make moves in order to force a vote-depleting election boycott in the South-East and South-South have miscalculated,” said head of the DOS Mazi Chris Nwaogu.
“Our boycott is not a gift to any Nigerian political actor; it is an unyielding response to systemic injustice and state-sponsored illegality.
“While our decision regarding a total boycott of the 2027 general elections stands, we begin our phased political disengagement today by targeting the party responsible for our oppression.
“Effective immediately, Biafrans are directed to boycott everything connected to the APC—the party that brought Operation Python Dance, extrajudicial killings, illegal detentions, and kangaroo convictions to our land.
“Cease attending APC rallies, stop carrying APC flags, refrain from defending APC governors, and deny every form of political legitimacy to the ruling party.”
Meanwhile the IBOP accused the APC of engaging “local errand boys” to hoodwink the people of the South-East.
“The public humiliations suffered by these actors—from Hope Uzodinma being locked outside an Aso Rock meeting to Dave Umahi having his microphone seized in Kaduna—demonstrate their complete lack of honor.
“Soludo’s humiliation is coming. History bears witness to how Rochas Okorocha was used and brutally humiliated by the APC after years of dedicated service when he abandoned APGA for the party of bondage. Exactly what happened to Rochas shall befall Soludo.”
