A Niger Delta militant group known as the Concerned Militant Leaders
(CML) has sworn that the forthcoming Anambra state gubernatorial
elections scheduled for November 18 will not hold.The group, which is a coalition of some militant group leaders in the
region, warned that voters should avoid all polling booths on the day
of the election for their safety.Leader of the CML, General Ben, said that the group was troubled by
the marginalization of the South East and South-South regions. He also
pledged support to the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB) for the
actualization of Biafra. The statement read in part;
“What we demand is that voters should boycott the election. There
should be no campaigns or election. We are going to use the State as an
experiment because Federal Government has not told our people why
unarmed Biafra agitators were killed by Federal troops.
Whoever that challenges us, should be prepared for us. This is
the final warning. We may not deem it necessary to speak on this issue
again unless it becomes inevitable”.
