EKO HOT BLOG reports that ahead of Saturday’s governorship election in Anambra State, a former presidential candidate, Kingsley Moghalu has criticized the tactics employed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to Moghalu, the tactics used by the pro-Biafra agitators harms the people of the South-East greatly.
The former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said the sit-at-home order by IPOB was a challenge.
In a Twitter thread, he accused the government of failing to handle the issue of IPOB properly.
According to Moghalu, rather than rely on force, the government should opt for negotiation.

Moghalu urged the people of the State to file out and exercise their franchise on Saturday.
“The complex problem of the IPOB sit-at-home order is a challenge. But that’s why there is a heavy security presence.
“@NigeriaGov has not handled the IPOB issue well, with its exclusive reliance on force instead of including dialogue among its options in what is essentially a political conflict that has turned into criminality.
Even worse is the failure and illegitimacy of the region’s traditional political elite, a vacuum IPOB occupied. But IPOB’s tactics are harming the Igbo greatly.
“Say what anyone may, the violence, state of fear, and staggering economic productivity losses, increase rather than reverse marginalization and steals hope from the future of our young people in the region. Vote on Saturday. Vote for our hopes, not for our fears,” he tweeted.
