Simon Ekpa is Only Speaking For Himself, IPOB Counters No Sit-at-Home Order in South East
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has mandated its members
and residents of the South-East region to shun the 5-day sit-at-home exercise
called by Nnamdi Kanu’s self-acclaimed disciple, Simon Ekpa.
IPOB said it did not issue any sit-at-home while reacting to
Ekpa’s earlier directive that people should boycott social and commercial
activities from 9 to 14 of December.
According to the Finland-based IPOB member, the sit-at-home
would serve as a protest in Igbo land against the forthcoming general elections
next year.
Reacting to the call, a statement by IPOB spokesperson, Emma
Powerful, on Tuesday, said, “The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the
leadership of Nnamdi Kanu wish to state unequivocally to the people of Biafra,
friends of Biafra, and lovers of Biafra freedom that IPOB leadership did not
issue any sit-at-home order on 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th of December
2022.
“IPOB never issued any sit-at-home order on these days mentioned above because we are not miscreants, senseless, or jobless people.
“Every Biafran and residents in Biafra Land should ignore such order from untrained and brainless individuals whose agenda is to make Biafra agitation unattractive to our people. Every Biafran must go to their normal business on those days.”
The statement further read, “IPOB who is concerned about our people cannot issue such brainless uncaring 5-day consecutive sit-at-home order to suffer our people during this critical time of the year when people are trying to make up in their businesses for the year.
“Their agenda is to create insecurity and unnecessary hardships to make our people jettison Biafra’s freedom. How wicked!”
