“We are delighted over the cheering news that the IPOB has cancelled the one week sit at home, which we earlier said would be of great consequence on the entire Igboland.

“It’s a thing of joy that the IPOB has finally looked at the larger picture by cancelling this action, although it came very late when so many weddings, traditional marriages and burials has been postponed. It’s still better than never.

“We commend the Uchenna Madu led Movement for the Actualization of sovereign state of Biafra, MASSOB, for standing firm over the Saturday’s Anambra governorship election.

“At this point, we re- echo our appeal to our people to go out en masse and cast their ballot for their preferred candidate in the anambra guber election.”
