IPOB: Ohanaeze Sends An Important Message To Transporters, Residents
The region has been forced to observe a sit-at-home on Mondays to protest the arrest and detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Business owners, residents, transporters, and Nigerians at large have been told to go about their normal lives any day of the week as the era of Monday sit-at-home was over in the South-East.
The region has been forced to observe a sit-at-home on Mondays to protest the arrest and detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. The sit-at-home order was to be obeyed until Kanu is released.
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Sunday gave the assurance, adding that all schools in the zone can commence their usual academic activities without any fear of molestation.
Chief Alex Ogbonnia, who is the spokesman of Ohanaeze, said in a statement that the leadership of IPOB had canceled the Monday sit-at-home order they had earlier issued.
It said, “The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador George Obiozor, uses this opportunity to appreciate the understanding and maturity exhibited by the IPOB during the Anambra State governorship election and the cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home.
“They have indeed scored two major points: First, the Igbo detractors and doomsayers were disappointed that the election was a resounding success. The second is that the IPOB can listen to appeal by the elders.
“It is very heartwarming that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, traditional rulers, archbishops, governors, eminent persons, women groups, the political class, the academia, etc in Igbo land are united in the Release-Nnamdi-Kanu-Project.
“This has proved to the skeptics that the Igbo unity is incontrovertible and that they can also be mobilized within a very short time.”
Some groups are still enforcing the Monday sit-at-home rule.
