OHANEZE KICK AGAINST IPOB ONE WEEK SIT AT HOME ORDER
The Ohaneze group has kicked against the IPOB proscribed directives of a one week sit at home order to boycott elections in the states
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, on Sunday, kicked against the one week sit-at-home declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. The declaration was targeted at the November 6 Anambra election, which has been attracting wild condemnation.
In a statement by the Secretary-General of the Chidi Ibeh-led apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he said Ndigbo should not obey the order this time.
While describing the order as the enslavement of Ndigbo, Isiguzoro said it was time “for the Igbo to rise to the occasion and end being trampled with orders from overseas by those without any investments in the South-East”.
“It is impulsive and reckless to order Ndigbo to observe a one-week sit-at-home when it’s obvious that Nnamdi Kanu will not be released without the approval of courts.
“IPOB should revisit and nullify the one-week sit-at-home or they will likely lose the support of the Ndigbo henceforth, Ndigbo must participate in Anambra election and nothing should stop it”.
He cautioned that such orders if implemented would give a particular political party an edge in the election.
