Nigerian Election Is A Total Fraud

Nigerian Election Is A Total Fraud

For IPOB WRITERS.

DATE: 23.02.2019
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has urged the people to never cast any vote for APC Party candidates in Biafra land.

Kanu made this statement during his live broadcast  last night (22/02/2019) on Radio Biafra London.

Speaking further on this, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has appealed to Biafrans out there to make sure that they vote wisely in today's (23.02.2019) Presidential election and never cast any vote for the APC Party candidates. His reasons being that this APC-led administration  is evil and responsible for the killings of our people (IPOB Family Members) and other numerous evil activities prevalent in our land today.

According to Kanu, these evil practices can no longer linger in our land as we are now taking the bull by the horns. We have to stand on our feet and deal with them! Said that as things continue to change, we are changing with it, possibly to correct the errors domiciled in our lives.

Kanu also appealed to IPOB family members worldwide to fully understand his stance on this Statement, "Never Vote for APC in Biafra land." He maintains that IPOB remains apolitical in the Nigerian game of politics but then, we must question the source of our problems and solve it, so as to avail us the opportunity to focus our attention on the bigger issues. Biafra restoration remains IPOB major focus.

"We are only participating in this because we must send a message to the Cabals in the North (Fulani evil politicians) that Biafra land belongs to IPOB and that we determine what comes and goes." Kanu said.

However,  Speaking on the ban for the election boycott, he said since IPOB has achieved the main purpose for the call for the boycott, we will now use it to our own advantage and turn the tables against our enemies.

"You must understand that IPOB holds the key. Biafra land belongs to IPOB And the evil APC has no stake in our soil. We have to force them out by any means necessary. And the time is NOW!" Kanu also said.

There you see, "There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood leads unto fortune." ~ Williams Shakespeare

It means, NOW or NEVER! Now is the time to unanimously come together and do something or never. Now is the right time to deal with our common problems (evil leadership in our land) or never. Now is the time we know who and who are the true Soldiers of IPOB. Only the Cowards will develop cold feet now the going is getting tougher.

Always know this, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the Master Planner. He has his strategic ways of doing things and they are very unique and amazing! Believe me,  he's got the game. Just keep following his command and we will have Biafra restored peacefully and Chiukwu-Abiama will take all the glory.

 

I neither snatched a ballot box nor threatened the life of any citizen. I had only stood, shocked by what these power thirsty men have turned our land into—this theatre of war. Before my eyes three bodies, soaked in blood, were lugged to the alleyway were I stood. The guns rattled close by, and I fled with the many other people who ran for their lives.

A gang of boys camouflaged in military outfits, heavily guarded by armoured cars and men of the Nigerian military, trooped down the road, shooting directly into the town and at anyone who was suspected to be a member of the PDP.

I sprawled on the ground in a makeshift bar I had found at the waterside where I had run to when the shooting became very intense. The armies followed, shooting directly at citizens who had come out expecting to see an election, but now face their death sentence. Peering through spaces between ground and wooden walls, I saw people, many people bleeding from their necks and backs and bellies and jumping into the river.

I was there, lying on that temporal space between life and death, still trying to post on a news on my Facebook wall when a trudge drew closer, matched the wooden wall down and cracked a gun to my head.

At this point, I knew it had finally happened. We had earlier heard the news of their plan to incarcerate members of the PDP before the elections. Although they had no been very successful at this plan, early this morning, the Secretary to the Akuku-Toru Local Government Council was pick up from his house under very severe torture.

I quickly taped the SHARE function on my phone screen to post what I had written in wait of what might happen.

"I have been arrested by men of the Nigerian military. I don't know what will happen next," it read.

Why some people found it difficult to believe this news and chose to make jest of it on my wall, is what I still struggle to understand. Does the news sound like a scam or an attempt for one to score some cheap popularity? I do not think so. I think of it rather as a measure taken for my security.

Five military officers arrested me. They had riffles, daggers and another young man who begged mercilessly for his life. The boy had also been apprehended from a room where he was hiding for his life.

"I from this compound o," he begged. "Na as them they shoot for our house, na'im make I run come hide for here."

I brought out my voters card quickly to identify myself as did also the man. But it was only a waste of time as the army officers snatched our PVCs without any effort for identification.

We were moved to a compound belonging to an APC stalwart. Here, we were to be identified by APC members for what I knew would be an implication.

"Ehem! See am there," a young raised an accusation on our entrance into the yard. He was obviously pointing at me. " Him follow. Na them be the boys."

What follow were strokes of koboko. Slaps. And a teargassing of my eyes until I heard a voice from afar.

"No no no, it said."

" Leave this one..."

"I know him..."

"He's not one of them."

I ran as fast as the soldiers booted my back and buttocks.

I did not bother to say anything to the men who ordered for my beating or the man who saved my life this evening.

But I recognized the voice that said, "Leave this one." It was of a man who comes from this place and knows me to be of this land. It was the voice of the land.

The land does not consume its own.

We will overcome!

News Alert

PDP To Peace Committee, 

ICC: Buhari, APC Have Declared War 

on Nigerians

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) announces to the National Peace Committee (NPC) and the international community that President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have declared and commenced a war on the PDP.

The party says President Buhari has unleashed the state security apparatus of the police, the military and the Directorate of State Services (DSS), who are now hounding, beating up, arresting, detaining and shooting PDP leaders in various states, ahead of tomorrow’s election.

Federal controlled security officers have taken over the streets; they are now attacking and picking up our members, even in their homes, all in President Buhari’s bid to subjugate Nigerians and enforce his self-succession bid.

In Osun, all our key leaders have been arrested on flimsy charges. Our leaders are being harassed and detained in Rivers, Kano and other states.

In Kogi, our leaders, including former Governor Ibrahim Idris was manhandled, our state campaign spokesperson, Mr. Austin Okai, was abducted, while the National Publicity Secretary and Director of Media and Publicity of the Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, narrowly escaped abduction.

All our leaders in Kogi are under siege. The whereabouts of Senator Dino Melaye, a senatorial candidate, is uncertain since the last siege on him by security agents. The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu has refused to dismantle the siege by Government House Police command in Banda

We call on the Peace Committee and the international committee to note that President Buhari and APC have breached all the agreements in the peace accord.

For us in the PDP and indeed all Nigerians, we have now come to the breaking point where our members can no longer stomach the escalated onslaught of the Buhari Presidency and the APC. Nigeria belongs to all of us and we might have no option left in the present circumstance than to pull off our gloves.

The Peace committee and the International Criminal Court should hold President Buhari directly responsible for any break down of law and order in our country as Nigerians will never allow him to rig this election.

Kola Ologbondiyan

AND THIS LATEST PRESS RELEASED 

BY Ayodele Fayose MADE MY DAY

The Message!

Message from Ayodele Fayose to Igbos after 2019 ELECTIONS
I am your neighbor, your good friend, supporter and admirer.

I am so happy with this people called the Igbos. I am so happy with their wisdom and industry. I am happy with their doggedness and pride. I am proud of their disobedience at times. I am proud of their capacity and capability to analyze and judge every situation on real time. I am proud of their ability to disagree on what other tribes would readily accept without deep analysis and their strong determination to follow through on anything they agree upon. I am proud of the way they Accept challenges.

However, I have never been this proud before. Nigeria lost the elections but the Igbos won the elections. They told you Mr. Buhari that they hate you to your face. They hate your personality. They hate what you have done to their children, what you have done to pregnant women in many parts of Nigeria by ripping open their wombs and ordering he death of Christian priests in Benue and the killings of their brethren in parts of the North. They say they hate the blood shed in Southern Kaduna, in Benue, in Zamfara, in Adamawa, in Taraba, in Borno and Yobe. You love and pamper Boko Haram. You release, rehabilitate and even enlist into the Nigerian Army and Police Boko Haram terrorists. Igbos hates Boko Haram. They hate bloodshed and they regard human life as sacred. You are the grand patron of the murderous Fulani Herdsmen and Igbos doesn’t want your cattle colonies in their towns and cities.

They denied you their votes and subjected you and your cabal to rigging in order to win. Igbos hates your divide and rule policies. They hate your ethnic based leadership and your nepotism. They hate injustice, ethnic and religious bigotry. Igbos hates poverty. That is the victory of their votes. They defeated you and Tinubu in your Lagos. They have confirmed to you that they are in Lagos, Abuja, PortHarcout and all over the south.
And for the rest of Nigeria, sorry for you. Igbos have done their part. They have rejected evil and his ministers. Their votes are their witness. The blood of all the young men killed in Portharcourt last Saturday bear witness to them. Their resistance in Lagos sing their triumph.
Whatever will happen in Nigeria the next four years, count Igbos innocent because they saw evil and rejected it. And those who desire evil and aided this evil will live with it. Igbos have done their part and hoping that one day, only one day, the rest of Nigeria will remember the sacrifices of the Igbo nation for the freedom of Nigeria of which their ancestors were the founding fathers. Thank you all Igbos who are still alive in Nigeria. You won the elections and you won my heart and hearts of all men and women of good will by shaming the devil.

Do not worry but trust God to vindicate you.
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES!!

Ugo Finian wrote copied 

from Meg Barn timeline!!!

We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has not been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do.

Our Democracy in Under Threat

Protocols:

1. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is forced to take a stand and make the following pronouncements at this crucial point because our democracy is under threat of derailment.

2. Firstly, I want to categorically state that our collation centers have all original results from every polling unit, in every ward, in every Local Government Area (LGA) in Nigeria, of which the international community is well aware, implying all results currently being announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is incorrect thus unacceptable to our party and people.

3. Secondly, officials of both President Buhari’s government and the All Progressive Congress (APC), working with INEC officers, have tried to alter the course of history and disenfranchise our people through the cancellation and manipulation of figures for results already announced at polling units, nationwide, in Local Government Areas (LGAs) where our party, the PDP, had commanding votes; this must now be resisted by every well meaning Nigerian.

4. Thirdly, the ruling party’s strategy has indeed been murderous, undignified, and disrespectful of the wishes of the electorate, our people and the international community who have been in solidarity with our nation as we attempt to strengthen our democracy and its institutions.

5. Fourthly, in full view of the watching world, and despite efforts by our great party and its agents to adhere to every laid down provision for the 2019 general elections, the APC in collusion with INEC have taken aggressive steps, mostly through inducements, manipulation and incarcerations, using the elements of state power including the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army in particular, alongside other organizations including the Department of State Security (DSS) and Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to silence the voices of our long suffering people; this is disheartening, considering the terms of the Peace Accord, which called for impartiality and non-partisanship by members of our security organization with constitutional roles to play during this civic exercise.

6. Fifthly, as results trickled in on the Sunday, February 24th, 2019, clearly putting the PDP in the lead, the ruling party and President Buhari dispatched high-ranking officials to coercively influence outcomes in different geopolitical zones in the country. For example:

I. The minister of the interior, was dispatched to the North West of the country
II. The Secretary of the Government of the Federation was dispatched to the North East of the country; while the
III. The Attorney General and Minister were dispatched to the South East and South-South regions.

7. With the INEC IT server hacked by agents of the APC to manipulate results, we can with certainty state that results from the following polling units have, for example, been tampered with, note:

i. Sarkin Dawaki ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state
ii. Doka ward in Doma LGA – Nassarawa state
iii. Agyaragin – Tofa ward
iiii. 10, 000 illegal votes added to already announced results in Wurno LGA in Sokoto state
v. Additionally, violent and destructive attacks have been meted out to officials while counting at Lafia St. and police barracks polling units.

8. As if these provocations are not enough, our agents and officials are constantly arrested and in many cases locked-up for complaining that Card Readers were not in use in many Northern states, implying that all results from the Northern part of the country where Card Readers were not used should be voided in accordance with INEC guidelines.

9. I also believe, the arrest of Eng. Buba Galadima, who has been a great symbol of what is courageous about our people goes to show that one man’s ambition is greater than our collective good, and most probably worth the blood of all Nigerians.

10. In that context, I call for Buba Galadima’s immediate and unconditional release, as well as that of all officials and agents of the PDP, in the Southwest, who were mostly arrested on the eve of the elections where intimidation became the APCs sole election strategy.

11. Despite these provocations, intimidation and attempts to hijack our democracy and change the course of history, I must, in fact, convey to our good people the fact that the PDP is on course to victory and the Presidency; therefore, remain resolute and steadfast, because our party shares in your uncertainty and suffering, which must decisively come to a good end for us all.

12. Finally, and once again, we appeal to the leadership of INEC to remain impartial and not become willing agents to disenfranchise our people and derail our democracy, because the world is watching, and history will indeed pass judgment.

In addition, to the international community; we welcome your support for our democracy and extend our gratitude with great hope for our democracy.

Prince Uche Secondus
Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)

For Nnia Nwodo And All Southerners

Colonel Nwobosi Has A Strong Message

For Nnia Nwodo And All Southerners

Excerpts...

" ...That is why I have now given my full support to Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), because they speak the truth that will dismantle Nigeria, which is an unworkable entity. They are not fighting against us, but fighting to raise the political and revolutionary consciousness of all Igbos, Biafrans, Southern Nigerians and Middle-Beltans, to free themselves from oppression and retrogression.

Before IPOB brought me out of Nigeria I thought they were riff raff on the streets of Nigeria. When I got to Britain, I came to understand that IPOB was run by top professionals, who finance activities with their own money. They are in 88 countries of the world, working with the government and parliaments of those countries putting the truth before them instead of the lies and crimes of the Nigerian government. They have a world-wide Radio and TV network. Igbos and Biafrans should be proud of the discipline and achievements of these determined young men, who will definitely succeed. They awed me beyond words,. I am so proud.

Even if you are not a Biafran or want to be part of Biafra, recognize that IPOB is a powerful organization at your service. Southerners, Middle-Beltans and Northern Christians wake up and use IPOB as a powerful battering ram to breakdown Hausa-Fulani strangulation of Nigeria so we can all gain our freedom. Let us agree on how we share the oil and assets and let us go our separate ways.

As you all go into the Nigerian election, all I can see is a rigged outcome. This is again the past haunting the present because of Radical Islamism. The Balewa Government put Awolowo in prison and rigged Akintola to power in Western Nigeria as a stooge of the North, just like Afonja and Tinubu. Today, the Buhari cabal is slamming opponents into prison and rigging their stooges into power. In 1964, Ahmadu Bello’s Northern People’s Congress (NPC) Government rigged the elections, despite the massive coalition of progressive forces against them. The progressives formed the United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA) comprising Awolowo’s Action Group in Western Nigeria, Zik’s NCNC in Eastern Nigeria, Aminu Kano’s NEPU in Northern Nigeria, Joseph Tarka’s UMBC in the Middle-Belt. It was impossible for Ahmadu Bello’s NPC and Akintola’s NNDP to defeat the UPGA Alliance. Yet NPC rigged themselves to power.

At first, Nnamdi Azikiwe, as the President, refused to call Tafawa Balewa to form the Government in 1964 because of the massive rigging. He was surrounded by the Army and capitulated. That was the first coup in Nigeria. They planned to remove him and demanded that the army swear allegiance to the Prime Minister. That was when we struck to stop the madness.

Awolowo had performed very well as Premier of the West and we wanted his socialist policies of free education and free health nationwide. He was also the actual leader of UPGA as Zik was now the President. We were determined to spring him from prison to rule the country as Prime Minister.

General Ironsi, the Head of the Army, did not protect Zik or Awo and did not stop Prime Minister Balewa and Premier Bello of the North, from using the army to terrorise the people. That was why we moved to arrest him but he narrowly escaped and stopped our revolution in the South.

That is why as a group of patriotic, young soldiers we took action to stop the madness. Nigerians needs courageous people to stand up and stop the rot going on today. This is why I admire Nnamdi Kanu. He has inspired me to stand up at my old age and take action by speaking the truth.

Today I call upon the elders of our people, the Igbos, to support our young people as they seek to break away from a decadent Nigeria, to create the Biafra of our dreams, an African Israel and a centre that taps the ingenuity of the Igbo man to build a modern industrial nation, free from a corrupt, decadent Nigeria.

Today, I call upon John Nnia Nwodo and the leaders of Ohaneze. If you fought in Biafra and say you will not lead us into war again, then know that IPOB is not for war. IPOB is seeking a referendum for us to decide our future. I fought for Biafra. I was wounded for Biafra. I served Nzeogwu directly; I served Ojukwu directly, so you never suffered more, nor have more experience of war. Yet I support our young people to fight for their liberation from an unworkable Nigeria in which Igbos shall always face religious massacre and marginalisation. John Nnia Nwodo, if you were truly a soldier stand up and say enough is enough. Fear of war is no excuse.

Today, I call upon Southern Nigeria, especially Yoruba and the Middle-Belt people, whom we tried all those years ago, to save from the genocide of the Bello and Balewa Government. I call upon you to stand up and recognize us for what we did to stop genocide in your region in 1966. Stand up and demand your freedom.

It is important you all realise that you are facing a stark reality as we faced with the Bello and Balewa Government. You are facing a Nigerian Government committed to Islamisation by Jihad. General Danjuma, who made the grave mistake of killing General Ironsi, has finally woken up to acknowledge who is really his enemy..."
