A former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain and the wife of the former Biafran War lord, Chief Mrs Bianca Ojukwu has told Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members to begin their election boycott in their states.
She described the job of the members of the Akpokuedike Fan Club as important, saying that APGA and its leadership remains a replica and model of late Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu’s dream of a region where excellence prevails.
Chief Mrs Ojukwu underlined the need for the APGA dream to be upheld for posterity sake, stressing that those clamoring for the boycott of elections in the State should be well advised to begin such calls in their home State, adding that Governor Obiano should be returned for second term to sustain the dividends of good governance in the State.
She warned that Igbo Youths are the most endangered, as there is no visible federal government presence in terms of infrastructure, adding that APGA remains the voice of Ndi Igbo and should be supported.

Dr Okeke who assured of working with the Fan Club at the right time to mobilize people for the election to ensure Governor Obiano’s return, stressed that in order for peace to continue to reign supreme in the State, the Northern part of the State should be allowed to complete a second term of four years.
