NO ELECTION IN BIAFRA LAND: Youths Disrupt Anambra Guber Candidate’s Campaign In Ogbaru LGA, Saying NO ELECTION

Some unidentified youths bearing Biafran Flags have disrupted a governorship campaign pro­gramme of the Progressing People Alliance (PPA) candi­date, Godwin Chukwunaenye Ezeemo.

Ezeemo campaign team were at the God’s Own Pen­tecostal, Church Odoekpe, in Ogbaru Local Government of Anambra State to interact with party faithfuls on Satur­day when young men, bran­dishing Biafran flags and sing­ing Biafran songs besieged the venue, ordering the candi­date and his team to leave.

They blamed their grievanc­es on the prolonged neglect of the area by successive gov­ernments in Anambra state.

They specifically fingered the Willie Obiano administration for failing to fulfill his promis­es to them.

“We have been lied to and used for so long by these pol­iticians and we do not need them again. Our youths are jobless, our roads are bad. We want our freedom and we do not want all these politicians here anymore,” they argued.

Mr. Ezeemo who managed to calm the protesters, how­ever informed them that he is a Biafran in practice given that he brought down all his investments to his homeland in Anambra.

He further ex­plained that addressing the challenges of poverty and de­velopment was the reasons he was vying for governor­ship of Anambra.

His words: “I can under­stand the agitation of these youths. We have been lied to for so long by these poli­ticians but I have left Britain to come back home so I can make things right. Just give me a chance, I will not let you down.”.

The incident happened barely 24 hours after a de­fiant kanu stormed Onitsha and addressed thousands of supporters, albeit encourag­ing residents to boycott the Anambra poll. “There will be no election in Anambra and Biafraland forever and ever. This land belongs to Biafra. Our enemies will fail. We are without fear before our en­emies. I will be alive to see Biafra or death fighting for it. You all must see Biafra”, Kanu told flag-waving and cheering crowd that thronged Omogba Phase II Onitsha on July 8.
