Anambra governorship election will not hold — Militants

Niger Delta militants

Concerned Militant Leaders (CML), a Niger Delta group, has vowed that the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State, scheduled to take place on November 18, will not hold.

The group, which comprises of leaders of some militant groups in the region warned that voters should boycott the election for their safety.

Leader of the CML, General Ben, said that CML was worried about the marginalisation of the South East and South-South regions and have been in the forefront, supporting the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for the actualisation of Biafra.

“What we demand is that voters should boycott the election. There should be no campaigns or election. We are going to use the State as an experiment because Federal Government has not told our people why unarmed Biafra agitators were killed by Federal troops. Whoever that challenges us, should be prepared for us. This is the final warning. We may not deem it necessary to speak on this issue again, unless it becomes inevitable,” Ben said.
