Nwachukwu Orji, resident electoral commissioner (REC) in Anambra, says the sit-at-home directive by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is affecting preparations for the governorship election in the state.

Orji stated this on Thursday, after the opening ceremony of the election monitoring and support centre (EMSC) amber zone implementers’ workshop, held in Anambra.


IPOB, which is seeking to secede from Nigeria, had declared a sit-at-home on Mondays, beginning from August 9, as protest against the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the group.


“Our preparations are on course, even with all the challenges we are facing, such as the attacks on our state office on May 23rd and the sit-at-home order, which is eating into our preparations,” NAN quoted him to have said.


“The sensitive materials will go to the Central Bank of Nigeria branch in Awka. But we are not talking about sensitive materials here, so there is no need for the alarm being raised,” he said.


“The commission is working according to plans to put all things in place by the end of this month.
