The Indigenious People of Biafra has no right to the Anambra State Governorship election slated for November 18, the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe has said.
He said that election will hold in the state and urged the people of the state to come out en masse to cast their votes to their choice candidates with out any fear of intimidation and harassment.
Igwe Achebe who stated this when the State leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene visited him in his palace said that the traditional institution in the state has endorsed the rotational of governorship slot to every zone just like the town Union and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have done, saying that the North should be allowed to complete the remaining fours before power will move to another zone.
According to him, “The election is for us not for the entire country. You cannot have a referendum in one part of the country without carrying other parts of the country along and the government must support and sponsor it before it will be organized and not curving out some part of the country for the referendum. The election must hold and nobody or group of persons will stop it. Nobody should come to the state to cause unnecessary tension”.

Igwe Achebe who is also the Chairman of Anambra State Traditional Ruler’s Council called on the Ndigbo in other parts of the state and country to invest at home inn order to make Igbo land an economic hub in the county.
“Our people should come home to invest in industry, factory, build schools and hospitals that will be beneficial to our people. We need non partisan strong institution to create good environment for development. I commend the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership both at the national and state level for their efforts within six months to unite Ndigbo” Achebe stated.
