Separatist group, the Indigenous People Of Biafra, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have revealed on the real reason on the election postponement.
According to the group's spokesman, Emma Powerful, the group claimed the postponement was based on the order by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to suspend the election boycott initially announced by him. Explaining further, he claimed that reversal made it impossible for "Jubril and his handlers proceed to rig the elections."
Continuing, he said that the postponement was a "confirmation that IPOB decision to lift the boycott was a masterstroke that took the cabal by surprise and made it virtually impossible for Jubril and his handlers to proceed to rig the elections on the account that IPOB boycotted the polls."
The statement reads: "Events surrounding the postponement of the nigerian presidential elections previously scheduled for today February 16, 2019 is confirmation that IPOB decision to lift the boycott was a masterstroke that took the cabal by surprise.
"The move by the IPOB apex leadership to call off the boycott made it virtually impossible for Jubril and his ghandlers to proceed to rig the elections on the account that IPOB boycotted the polls. It is now clear for the world to see that some nefarious elements within the corridors of power in aso Rock wanted so desperately for IPOB to boycott these elections in order to justify their already perfected script that our boycott made it possible for them to emerge victorious.
"By calling off the boycott, Jubril and his cabal lost the initiative and were headed straight for defeat. Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the prophet of our time, is light years ahead of the intrigues and machinations that characterise politic in Nigeria. Had the leadership of our great movement IPOB not called off the boycott, the sham elections would have proceeded as rigged, with a Sudanese imposter Jubril announced as winner on account that IPOB boycotted the exercise.
"Anyone who is still in doubt about the potency of IPOB will undoubtedly have a rethink after this. Quite obviously, the IPOB boycott call off took the nigerian corrupt establishment unawares. A simple statement from our leader has exxposed voting in Nigeria as a huge joke. Let the riggers go back and plan how to rig well. What a country, what a contraption.
"In effect, our leader calling off the boycott was a huge shock they were unable to manage. Lt. Gen. Tukur threat and orchestrated army violence against peaceful IPOB in the run up to February 16 were all designed to maximize the impact of the intended boycott because that was the outcome the desired. This plan fll apart as soon as IPOB called off the boycott. Therefore, they had no choice than to postpone the elections. That Nigeria is not voting today is due to what some people called IPOB effect.
"IPOB's late annoucemet of the lifting of the boycott was what led to this last minute poetponemnt by INEC, becuase they had ample time throughout the week to postpone the elections but failed to do so. The fear of IPOB is the beginning of wisdom, only fools pretend otherwise."
