For the 2023 general elections, the Indigenous People of Biafra have discontinued their weekly sit-in order.
In a statement issued on Thursday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, the group stated that it will not issue a sit-at-home order for the purposes of the election.

“The IPOB, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has never used force to hinder the Nigerian electoral process,” according to the statement. Instead, we once called on Biafrans to boycott elections, which were later cancelled.

“We have stated that we don’t have any interest in the Nigeria shambolic political choosing process dubbed Nigeria elections set for February 2023. Our main concern is the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, as well as the timing of the Biafra referendum, which will allow Biafrans to decide whether they want to live in or outside Nigeria.

“We knew that this mushroom group called PANPIEC is among those sponsoring this fake group claiming that they are IPOB issuing and enforcing reckless sit at homes in the East.

“If they are not their sponsors, why do they keep linking the paid agents of confusion with us even as IPOB have publicly denounced any link with Simon Ekpa and his collaborators?

“It’s on record and in the public domain that IPOB has not called for any sit-at-home during the February elections. It’s also obvious that IPOB and ESN do not have any faction or splinter groups. IPOB remains peaceful and indivisible under one command for the liberation of Biafra Nation from the Republic called Nigeria.
“We reiterate for the records that, IPOB has not, did not, and will not issue any sit-at-.home order in February during the elections period. We also did not call for any boycott of the upcoming elections yet.

“The focus of IPOB is the release from illegal detention of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whom Appeal Court and other courts have discharged and acquitted since 13th of October 2022, and Biafra referendum date.”
