According to Ubah, the plan is to demonstrate to the people that they are safe and should start coming out on Mondays for business.
“The abrogation of the self-inflicted injury called Monday sit-at-home would start from this Monday, July 3. We are going to march in a road show across various markets and roads tomorrow (Monday) to demonstrate to the people that they are safe and should start coming out for business Mondays.
“The vigilantes have been charged to beef up security around all the major markets in Nnewi and ensure that traders and their goods are given adequate protection from the so-called unknown gunmen this Monday and subsequent Mondays to stamp out the cankerworm called sit-at-home.
“Monday is a serious day for business and economic activities, but the sit-at-home has spoilt businesses, commerce and economy in the region. It has thrown our youths out of jobs and this cannot continue.”

This sharply contrasted with what the state governor, Peter Mbah, had declared on Thursday, June 1, urging the residents to disregard IPOB’s order and to go about their everyday activities.
