How I Forced Cabal to Postpone Nigeria Election - Nnamdi Kanu

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB says the calling off the boycott of the 2019 general election at the 11th hour was responsible for the panic that caused Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to announce a postponement of the election.

A press release sent to elekenews.com by the media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful said the late call off of the election boycott was a huge shock to the federal government, which in turn panicked, knowing that more persons will troop out to vote, and also make nonsense of their plan to rig the election.

Part of the release read, "Events surrounding the postponement of the Nigerian presidential elections previously scheduled for today February 16, 2019 is confirmation that IPOB decision to lift the boycott was a masterstroke that took the cabal by surprise.

"The move by IPOB apex leadership to call off the boycott made it virtually impossible for Jubril(Buhari) and his handlers to proceed to rig the elections on the account that IPOB boycotted the polls. It is now clear for the world to see that some nefarious elements within the corridors of power in Aso Rock wanted so desperately for IPOB to boycott these elections in order to justify their already perfected script that our boycott made it possible for them to emerge victorious. By calling off the boycott, Jubril and his cabal lost the initiative and were headed straight for defeat"

Powerful said the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, was ahead of the intrigues and machinations that characterise politics in Nigeria, and that had the leadership of IPOB not called off the boycott, the sham elections would have proceeded as rigged.

"Anybody who is still in doubt about the potency of IPOB will undoubtedly have a rethink after this. Quite obviously, the IPOB boycott call off took the Nigerian corrupt establishment unawares. A simple statement from our leader has exposed voting in Nigeria as a huge joke. Let the riggers go back and plan how to rig well.

"Our leader calling off the boycott was a huge shock they were unable to manage. Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai's threat and orchestrated army violence against peaceful IPOB in the run up to February 16 were all designed to maximise the impact of the intended boycott because that was the outcome they desired.

"This plan fell apart as soon as IPOB called off the boycott. Therefore, they had no choice than to postpone the elections. That Nigeria is not voting today is due to what some people have called the IPOB effect.

"IPOB late announcement of the lifting of the boycott was what led to this last minute postponement by INEC, because they had ample time throughout the week to postpone the elections but failed to do so. The fear of IPOB is the beginning of wisdom, only fools pretend otherwise."
