2023: Northern Elders urge Buhari to quell IPOB, other agitations ahead of polls

In the bid to ensure no Nigerians are disenfranchised in the forthcoming polls, the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has charged President Muhammadu Buhari to use his influence to quell IPOB and other agitations likely to prevent Nigerians from exercising their constitutional rights in the country.

While responding to allegations of attacks on INEC facilities, the outlawed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday reiterated its unconcern for the forthcoming 2023 general elections in Nigeria which it described as a jamboree, saying all it wanted was a referendum that will decide the fate of Biafran Republic.

The Biafran agitators in a statement issued by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the only thing the group wanted was a date for a referendum for the Igbos to exit the country.
