The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State Of Biafra, MASSOB, has declared that the scheduled Anambra guber race must hold on November 6.
The group assured residents that the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State must hold despite contrary stand by IPOB.
MASSOB also encouraged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to go ahead without distraction in conducting the governorship election, come weekend.
The pro-Biafra group disclosed this in a statement by its Director of Information, Edeson Samuel, on Monday.
This is coming a few days after the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the Southeast declared a seven-day sit-at-home protest in the South-East starting from November 5, if Nnamdi Kanu is not released.
The sit-at-home is expected to start on the eve of the Anambra State governorship election.
The statement read, “The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) under the leadership of Comrade Uchenna Madu after our National meeting presided by our leader have declared as follows:
“That the Anambra State governorship election must be peaceful and, credible as MASSOB has issued out instructions to our 21 LGA coordinators, 3 senatorial zonal leaders, 310 provincial administrators and all MASSOB securities to assist in effecting a peaceful and credible election in Anambra State.
“That MASSOB has encouraged the Independent Electoral Commission to go ahead without distraction in conducting the governorship election this weekend.
That MASSOB advised the people of Anambra State and other residents in Anambra to exercise their fundamental and constitutional rights of electing their next governor because Anambra political space will never be in vacuum.
