Presidential election result: Military, armed thugs rigged poll for Buhari, says IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday, accused the military, police and armed thugs of rigging the just-concluded presidential election in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari.

IPOB made this claim in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful.

The secessionist group said the acceptance of the election result was a prove that Nigerians are “like tormented caged animals stripped of every dignity and lacking in courage.”

The statement reads partly: “Only a moron and worker of iniquity will pretend not to know what transpired in the colonial contraption called Nigeria during the recently concluded presidential elections. Using the military, police and armed thugs to rig in favour of the ruling Jihadi APC was clear for all to see.

“That the result has been sanctioned by some weak minded apathetic Nigerians as well as the Fulani loving British colonial masters, despite the horrors of that elections, is proof, if one is needed, that poor masses of Nigeria are like tormented caged animals stripped of every dignity and lacking in courage.

“One inescapable fact is that this all encompassing, globally recognised and respected IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the only good thing that has happened to Biafrans in 50 years possibly forever.

“Irrespective of your tribe, group or religion, there is undeniable universal acknowledgement that IPOB is the only ray of light in an otherwise dark and murky political landscape in Nigeria.”
