We are interested in freedom for Ndigbo, not Nigeria’s elections – IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday reiterated its lack of interest in next month’s general elections, declaring that the process was already rigged.

IPOB also declared that it would not call for the boycott of the elections in the South-East.
