The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has frowned at the 5 days ‘sit-at-home’ order in the South-East, declared by an unknown group.
In an issued statement to newsmen by the National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, in Enugu on Tuesday, the organisation said, “the attention of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to a video broadcast circulating in the social media by one Simon Ekpa directing the people of the South-East of Nigeria that “in preparation to stop the election from taking place in Biafra-Land, there should be a chain of “sit at home on Friday, December 9, Saturday, December 10, Sunday, December 11, Monday, December 12, and Wednesday, December 14, 2022”.
Ekpa, in a video broadcast circulating on social media, had directed the people of the South-East region that “in preparation to stop elections from holding in the South East, there should be a chain of ‘sit-at-home’ from December 9 to 14, 2022.
Recall that the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) has denied issuing any sit-at-home order in the South East. The group, therefore, urged Southeasterners, friends and lovers of Biafra to ignore such orders and go about their normal businesses on the said days, insisting that sponsors of such misinformation have shown the level of wickedness, and hatred they have against Igbo people.
