The minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, says that the Anambra State gubernatorial election that held in Anambra showed that the IPOB group are powerless.
Lai Mohammed said:
“I think what that proved really is that IPOB does not represent the good people of Anambra or any state in the South East. If truly they represented the people, the IPOB propaganda about the election really showed that they are not on ground. The people of Anambra have shown that they believe in one Nigeria and federal system of government. If there are issues to be resolved, let us resolve it. But terrorism and separatism is not the answer. I think the Anambra election has sounded the death knell on IPOB because they said election will never hold. The election has come and gone, the turnout was quite reasonable. Every party competed very competitively and at the end of the day, the people of Anambra have decided who is going to be their governor.”
He also said that the President could not stop people who wanted to sell their votes from selling them but said the APC government is dedicated to allowing the outcomes of elections to be decided by the people themselves. Commenting on the President restoring the aides of Obiano, he said Buhari has created a fair playing ground for politics in Nigeria.
