There won’t be any election in Anambra until I get a date for referendum - IPOB leader
- The IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has given one condition as to why the 2017 Anambra governorship poll may not hold
- Kanu said unless the country is restructured before October 2017, there would be no election in Anambra state in November
- According to him, it is only in Nigeria that political leaders do not understand the difference between self determination and war
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that the only way the November governorship election in Anambra state would hold is if Nigeria would be restructured between now and October 1, 2017.
According to Daily Post, Kanu stated this on Monday, July 24, at an event where he received awards from three Igbo groups.

Legit.ng gathered that when asked about the reaction generated so far by his call for election boycott, he said the world would be shocked with the fate that would befall the election unless the federal government restructures the country before October 2017.
He said: “There will be no election in Anambra State come November 2017 and going forward there won’t be any election until they give me date for a referendum.
“They know what to do; convene a meeting, I will send my rep; give us a date for referendum, that is the only way.
“In which part of this earth have you ever found a measure of self-determination to be equated to war except in Nigeria because the political leaders do not understand the difference between self determination and war?
“Self-determination does not mean hate speech; the status quo can no longer remain. Like my brother Evangelist Eliot Ugochukwu-Uko said, if on or before October 1 nothing happens in terms of substantial restructuring, then there won’t be any election; the people will support us.”
