In a press statement issued in Owerri, signed by its leader, Uchenna Madu, the group posited that the military had no constitutional right to be at polling units during elections.

They also condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s order to the military to deal ruthlessly with ballot snatchers, accusing the ALL Progressives Congress, APC, government of failing Nigerians.

MASSOB called on its members and other pro Biafra groups to “massively participate and exercise their civic rights on election day.”

The statement read, “The leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has warned the Nigeria military personnel to stay clear of polling units during the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday.

“We condemn the position of President Muhammadu Buhari on his presidential order that the military should deal with civilians exercising their civic rights.

“MASSOB views President Muhammadu Buhari’s order to the military as a wild desperation and frustration, his APC-led Federal Government has failed woefully and contributed much to the political, religious, academical, economical and social sufferings of the citizens.

“MASSOB and other pro Biafra groups assure our people to massively participate and exercise their civic rights on election day. We assure our people that nobody will intimidate them on election day. Nigeria’s military has no constitutional rights to appear at polling units on election day.”
