2023 polls: Sheath swords, embrace ballots – Group begs IPOB, Yoruba Nation agitators

A civil society organisation, One Nigeria Group has called on the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Yoruba Nation agitators and other separatist groups to allow the 2023 general elections to hold.

The group’s coordinator, Muhammadu Hassan made this call while speaking to journalists in Abuja on Wednesday.

According to him, all agitations should cease for a peaceful election.

The group was speaking in light of sustained violence and killing in some of the country’s South East and South West regions.

He said, “We call on separatist movements and agitators, particularly the Yoruba Nation and IPOB, to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign as we elect our leaders again.”
