Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has said the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, has no powers to order a sit-at-home in the state.
Uzodinma said only a constituted authority like his
government can order a sit-at-home in the state.
He spoke while addressing State House Correspondents after
meeting President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House.
Uzodinma pointed out that activities in the state are
flourishing because residents have refused to obey IPOB’s order.
“IPOB is not a government in Imo state and cannot order
people to sit at home,” he said, adding that people who depend on their
businesses to make their daily bread cannot afford to stay at home.
The Governor admonished Nigerians to refrain from acts that
can cause instability, saying they should not take laws into their hands even
when aggrieved.
IPOB had ordered people of the Southeast to sit-at-home over
the rearrest of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Following the compliance recorded, IPOB had reviewed the
order to only when Kanu is to appear in court.
