From Jude Chinedu, Enugu
Coalition of pro-Biafra groups in Enugu State have joined leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, to reject the incessant sit-at-home in the state.
At a press conference jointly organised by five pro-Biafra groups in Enugu State, yesterday, Director General, De Biafra Mobilisers Initiative and Deputy Chairman, De Facto Government of Biafra, Rita Anigbogu, describing the exercise as counterproductive.
@thesunnigeria SIMON EKPA, SELF-ACCLAIMED BIAFRAN PRIME MINISTER, INSISTING THAT 2-WEEK SIT-AT-HOME MUST START ON MONDAY, JULY 31, 2023
This is as she lauded Kanu for issuing a letter stating clearly that the sit-at-home was, “a waste of time, resources, energy, and a self-enslavement that inflicts unnecessary hardships on our people. and will continue to be so.”
Said Anigbogu: “Sit-at-Home will only help to pillage our place; will make us kill one another, and destroy our economy to the benefit of our neighbours and pleasure of our traducers. When Scotland talks about Brexit, the world listens and Britain quakes because Scotland has built herself into a formidable economic power. When Catalonia sneezes, the world listens and Spain catches cold because Catalonia is an economic superpower in that European country. The political leaders, even governors with the best intention cannot do anything, our GDP will continue to be decimated if we continue to throw away our Mondays to sit-at-home. You can imagine a group of people that throw away their Mondays. What about our brothers and sisters who are business people?
“We have our parents who depend on daily proceeds to feed their children. What about pregnant women that will go into labour on Mondays? They cannot be attended to in the hospitals because we are sitting at home. What about our brothers and sisters that may have health emergencies maybe on Sunday night or on Monday and they cannot access hospitals? What if you have a life and death need for money, and you cannot go to the bank? What about our children, who may be writing examinations like WAEC, JAMB, or other exams and they have papers on Monday? They cannot write because we are sitting at home.
“Nnamdi Kanu has seen that sit-at-home will do us terrible harm and that is why he is demanding for a total end to it. It beats our imagination that anyone with Biafra blood running in his veins would contemplate a continuation of the Monday Sit-at-home and worse still asking a region to Sit-at-home for two full weeks. Who is that person really working for? So, we, the pro-Biafra groups of Enugu State extraction stand with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as we say, we collectively reject the sit-at-home. Let it end now.”On the authenticity of the letter written by Nnamdi Kanu stopping further sit-at-home in the South East, Anigbogu said that, “having known Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and having worked closely with him for several years, I know his style of writing. I know his hand writing, I know his language and command of English. The letter that Barrister Ejimakor presented to the press is very authentic and is from Nnamdi Kanu. Anyone claiming otherwise is doing so for ulterior motives, which time and Chukwu Okike Abiama will expose,” she said.
