We urge the people of the South-East to turn out in force on February 25 to vote for the candidates of their choice. Those calling for a sit-in at home will be regarded as enemies of the Igbo nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo those who are demanding a separate country called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2023\/01\/18\/2023-biafra-agitators-issued-strong-warning-over-polls-in-south-east\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biafra<\/a>, don\u2019t forget that your fathers and grandfathers demanded and fought to have that same Biafra roughly 52 years ago. Millions died in action and out of sheer starvation. Some of us here participated in that bloody war. What makes you believe that you can win that war this time through extreme activism? That war was fought with guns, armoured tanks, etc. We must think strategically in determining how to structure the future for our people, children, and grandchildren.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The elders urged the people of the region to learn from history and similar situations with the method adopted across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cYou could argue that your demand for separate existence is a basic human right. But the quest for a separate existence is not restricted to Nigeria. In Britain, for instance, Scotland, which is part of that country, is seeking a separate existence. So is the case in Spain, where Barcelona is demanding the same. None of them is demanding it by killing and maiming their fellow countrymen and women, by imposing a needless sit-at-home order.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey do it by participating actively in their country\u2019s general elections, where they sponsor candidates who will be their voice in their parliament, where they argue their case and push it via a referendum to decide which way to go. Why not borrow a leaf from them and pursue your demand in a civilised manner? You can never get Biafra through violence, slaughtering yourselves, or sitting at home when parents should be at work and children should be in school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouth-East residents have been coerced into complying with a sit-at-home order. This irregularity, which has also been extended to the Election Day, when people are looking forward to using their vote to speak their minds, must not be allowed to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is for this reason that the combined voices of elders, youths, men, women, and our retired military and paramilitary officers have come out to state unequivocally and reject this situation in its entirety.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Igbo Elders Consultative Forum has said Biafra won\u2019t happen through the boycott of the general elections and anybody calling for a sit-in would be treated and regarded as an enemy of the Igbo nation.
