Nnamdi Kanu Calls Off Election Boycott

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Nnamdi Kanu Thursday night asked members of the separatist group to participate in Nigeria’s general elections on Saturday after initially calling for a boycott.

“Having confirmed this evening that all our preconditions and terms have been met, signed, sealed and delivered; I hereby call-off the election boycott across Biafraland on Feb. 16, 2019,” Kanu said.

Kanu had told members of the group to sit home on the election day as a form referendum to determine their continued allegiance to Nigeria.
