Anambra Election Boycott: Nnamdi Azikiwe also called for the BOYCOTT of Elections in Eastern Region in 1964. Not a Criminal offence

Anambra Election Boycott: Nnamdi Azikiwe also called for the BOYCOTT of Elections in Eastern Region in 1964

The call by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for the boycott of the November, 2017 election, has generated a wide ranging sense of emotions from supporters and traducers.  While the call had gained traction among Biafran, especially the younger generation, the Nigerian police has almost criminalised it and the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), the purported Igbo party, has come out to heavily criticise IT. Fearful Ohaneze Ndi Igbo, has also condemned the call and suggesting that the leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu may be biting more than he can chew.
