Claims made by Imo State governor Hope Uzodinmma that he stopped the Monday-sit-at-home order in the South East have been disputed by the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The group’s Media and Publicity secretary, Emma Powerful in a statement made available to the media said the Imo governor claimed to stop what did not exist.
“Following the cancellation of the Monday sit-at-home order by IPOB since last year, we the global movement and family of IPOB wish to remind Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma that he did not stop Monday sit-at-home in Imo State but our leader through IPOB leadership did.
“IPOB wishes to remind Hope Uzodinma that he does not have the capacity to stop any Sit-at-Home order initiated by IPOB. Yes, IPOB started the infamous Monday sit at home last year but subsequently cancelled it as advised by our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, due to appeals from the elders and traditional rulers in our territory.”
“We are not responsible for any non-existent Monday sit-at-home that Hope Uzodimma is claiming and blabbing about. So long as IPOB is concerned our people are freely going about their businesses on Mondays
