The Independent National Electoral Commission Supervising Residence Electoral Commissioner in Anambra, Sam Egwu, says the fear of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has become ‘the beginning of wisdom’ in South-East”.
He also decried the poor turnout of voters during the Anambra gubernatorial election which was held on Saturday.
Speaking with newsmen at the weekend, Egwu lamented over the low voter-turnout in the State, claiming this is not really good for Nigerias democracy.
Recall that the outlawed group had ordered the ‘sit-at-home’ across the South-East region following the incarceration of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently awaiting trial in the custody of the Department of State Security, (DSS).
But in a statement released last week by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB announced the cancellation of the one-week sit-at-home directive in the South-East.
The group disclosed that it cancelled the order following consultations with elders, traditional, and religious leaders in the region.
