Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has kicked against the 7 days sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) which is planned to commence from November 5, 2021. The Igbo group stressed that the execution of such irrational order will hurt all Igbos. The Igbo Apex socio-cultural group in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said Ndigbo should not obey the order this time. He said, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo has deciphered that any declaration that unleashes untold hardship, leads to the collapse of commercial and industrial activities, boycott of Anambra elections, and interrupts the academic calendar in the Southeastern states is nonsensical, absurd, and anti-Igbo agenda, for the enemy’s amusement. “You can’t enslave Ndigbo for one-week without backlash from them, it’s time for Igbo to rise to the occasion and end being trampled with orders from overseas by those without any investments in the South-East. Isiguzoro said IPOB should discern that there was self-determination struggle in Africa before now. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in jail and never in the history of the movement against Apartheid was starvation, anguish, and catastrophe unleashed on Black South Africans by ANC.
“It is impulsive and reckless to order ndigbo to observe 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 order or they will likely lose the support of the Ndigbo henceforth, said Isiguzoro. “Ndigbo must participate in Anambra election and nothing should stop it.”
The declaration, targeted at the November 6 Anambra election, has been attracting wild condemnation.
IPOB threatened the one-week sit-at-home if their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not released forthwith. The separatist group issued a deadline of November 4, to the Federal Government for Kanu’s unconditional release.
