Ambassador (Prof.) George Obiozor, President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has urged residents of South-East to go about their normal businesses every Monday of the week because the era of Monday sit-at-home is gone.
He encouraged all schools in the South-East to commence their usual academic activities without any fear of molestation. “The transporters and traders that come to the South-East of Nigeria from all parts of the country and the Cameroons are also advised to feel free to come and transact their businesses. This is because, the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cancelled the Monday sit-at-home order they had earlier issued”, he said. VDO.AI
The President-General, who spoke thorough Ohanaeze’s National Publicity Secretary, Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, lauded the understanding and maturity exhibited by IPOB during the Anambra State governorship election and the cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home.
He said, “They have indeed scored two major points: First, the Igbo detractors and doomsayers were disappointed that the election was a resounding success. 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, 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 mobilised within a very short time.
“There is no gainsaying the diverse views and persuasions among the Igbo but the maturity in the Igbo republicanism is the rare capacity to unite for a common interest any time the need arises. “Ohanaeze Ndigbo thereby calls on all the market associations, road transport unions, labour leaders and all the interest groups to sensitise their members towards full economic activities in all parts of Igbo land on Mondays.
