His visit might not be unconnected with the upcoming election in the state scheduled for November 18 which IPOB has urged its members to boycott as a way of achieving the desired Biafra state.

Legit.ng had reported that IPOB officially ordered another sit at home. This time around, the IPOB ordered the people of Anambra to observe the sit at home protest on the day of the forth coming gubernatorial election in the state.

In a statement made available on the group's Radio Biafra Facebook page, IPOB said it ordered the sit at home to safe guard lives of the people because Governor Willie Obiano has colluded with the military to slaughter the people of the state.
