The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said come 2019, all elections would be boycotted until all those with their warped sense of national unity see and agree to a referendum on self-determination.

The group, however, called on the good people of Middle Belt- the Fulani enslaved majority of northern Nigeria and progressive elements in Yorubaland, to join IPOB in locking down 70 per cent of Nigeria landmass during upcoming 2019 general elections.

The media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement said IPOB would ensure that no election is conducted in the South East and South South by next year.

Powerful said: “Nigeria is not united and can never be under the present ‘militaristic unitary arrangement’. Nigeria as a British experiment at nation creation is a complete and total disaster, a failed project of disastrous proportions. It appears the only thing holding Nigeria together is the corrupt tendencies of the badly educated ruling class, determined to hold everybody down as they advance their cabalistic group interest at the expense of the well-being of the masses”.
