The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASOB) has said the governorship election in Anambra State must hold.
National Director of Information of MASSOB, Sunday Okereafor said this in an interview with Punch.
This is contrary to a statement made by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, that the election would not hold in the state.

Okoreafor said IPOB was planning to create more problems for Igbos and also get them killed.
“IPOB is wrong to have said election will not hold. How can they say election will not hold? They want to create problems in Nigeria. They want our people to be killed again?
“We are saying no violence and they are inciting violence. The people of Anambra should go ahead and elect their leaders on the day of the election,” he said.

He added that the group was planning to establish a Biafra radio station in Germany.
He said, “Eighteen years of MASSOB existence would be celebrated on September 13, 2017. We will celebrate it in a big way and MASSOB is saying election must hold in Anambra. It must surely hold.
“We have come a long way and we are the founders of the struggle. All the pro-Biafra groups came out of MASSOB. We are telling Anambra people to go ahead in November and be part of the election.”
