“Let’s play the Biafra territorial politics to take political control of Biafra land; it’s the unrivalled pathway to Biafra restoration. All eligible voters in Igbo land should get their PVCs,” he said.

The group, which has condemned the recent killings of some natives in Enugu and Anambra State, has asked the governors of the South-East to close ranks in a bid to find a lasting solution to the incidents.

It also advised the governors to urgently enforce the open grazing laws to avert future occurrence.

The statement read: “Violent armed attacks on civilians, the systematic degrading and destruction of democratic institutions, such as the electoral offices and mass murder of the vulnerable population in Biafraland, will never take us anywhere.

“Economic sabotage using and the armed enforcement of the self-destructive sit-at-home leading to anarchy, lawlessness and chaos, manifesting as physical intimidation, stoppage of vehicular movement, extortion, harassment and prevention of ordinary people from engaging in their day-to-day economic activities.”
