Despite the insistance by the Indigenous People Of Biafra IPOB that all markets must open for business today including the Onitsha main market, all shops at the market have remained closed in compliance to the orders of Governor Charles Soludo.
Determined to enforce the order there is heavy security presence at the main market while traders sit outside the market chatting and couldn’t gain entrance to their shops .
However members of IPOB could not be seen as at the time of this report but there have been panic running without any proof of any forceful move by the body to reopen the market.
This is coming as the APGA Media Warriors led Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe has described those in support of the sit at home order as enemies of Anambra state and the South East in general.
According to Obigwe in a statement, other states such as Imo , Abia , Ebony and Enugu states do not observe the sit at home order with the exception of Anambra state , questioning why Anambra should be singled out for economic strangulation.
“Those supporting this sit at home that has dealt heavy blow to igbo’s economy are the actual enemies of the State and igbo’s at large”
“The question begging for answers is why Anambra? ”
“This sit at home order is not being obeyed in imo, Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia but some miscreants are pushing for it to continue being obeyed in Anambra.
Obigwe recalled that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu stated in a widely circulated press release that he is not in support of the Monday’s sit at home and advised our people to put an end to it.
“The people claiming that they are doing it as a civil disobedience measures to protest the detention of Nnamdi Kanu are deceiving themselves”
“They are using Nnamdi Kanu condition to perpetrate criminality and cripple igbo’s economy”
He dismissed those saying that Governor Soludo should fight for Nnamdi Kanu release from detention instead of fighting to end the Monday’s sit at home accusing them of being economical with the truth as Governor Soludo is the first Governor in igbo land to call for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.
“When he came in as Anambra Governor, he paid Nnamdi Kanu a visit at DSS detention facility and had frank discussion with him”
“Till date, he is among the vocal voice calling for Nnamdi Kanu release”
“The truth remains that Nnamdi Kanu is 100 percent in support of Governor Soludo efforts to end the Monday sit at home”
“All that is expected from Anambra people and those resident in the State is to support Governor Soludo efforts to end the Monday sit at home because it is for the good of our State” he said.
