IMO: IPOB Warns Corps Members, INEC Officials Over Election Rigging

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cautioned officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) against manipulating the Imo State gubernatorial poll.

The warning was issued by IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful in a statement that was made public on Tuesday.

Strong threats were made against any INEC employees found to be cheating the Imo State governorship election.

The IPOB went on to say that the warning was sent in order to thwart any attempt on Saturday to undermine the will of the Imo State people.

The statement reads, “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the prophet and great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to reiterate once again that any INEC ad-hoc staff that uses his or her desk to subvert the will of the people of Imo State in the name of working for APC and Hope Uzodinma will receive it hot even after the elections on the 11th November 2023. If you know you can not resist bribes and intimidation from Hope Uzodinma and APC, it is better to back off to avoid had I known.

“Any INEC Adhoc staff, SPO, PO and NYSC member who will be used by APC agents to falsify results or try to transmit fake results from the polling units will be doing so at his or her own risk. The same goes for the political thugs working for and as agents for Hope Uzodinma to rig this election, should be ready for what will befall them even after the election.

“IPOB reiterates our stand towards this election because nobody wants to witness the atrocities that have happened in Imo State in the last four years to continue. Imo State people’s will, must not be subverted this time and those who have been contracted to subvert the will of the people must be ready to face the consequences.
