Nnamani condemns IPOB's sit-at-home order
Recall that a former governor of Enugu state, Chimaroke Nnamani, had expressed deep concern over the sit-at-home directive by IPOB.
Nnamani said the order is against the Igbo's interest and has negatively affected the economy and social life in the southeast.
The lawmaker said the Igbo character is defined by hard work, noting that the sit-at-home order is antithetical to this trait and a betrayal of Igbo interest.
Group predicts the end of sit-at-home
A report by the SB Morgen Intelligence had earlier indicated that residents were becoming tired of the group's sit-at-home order on Mondays.
The outlawed group made the decision after its leader, Kanu was arrested and extradited by Nigerian authorities.
According to the report, support for the IPOB was steadily declining on a daily basis.
Embrace APC or lose out in 2023
Meanwhile, a serious message was sent to the people of the southeast by a former member of the House of Representatives and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Victor Ogene.
He called on the people to accept the APC now or risk losing out of the permutations for the nation’s presidency in 2023.
He made this known in a statement titled ‘Anambra: Ndigbo Must Embrace APC Now or Lose Out of 2023 Equation'.
