The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has tackled the Southeast governors on their decision on the groups sit-at-home-order.
Recall that the governors after an emergency security meeting held in Enugu State on Tuesday, issued a communiqué categorically stating that sit –at-home order will no longer hold in all the south eastern states.
Reacting to the statement on Wednesday, October 6, the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, said Southeast governors cannot stop the wishes of the masses because they have failed them.
He however maintained the group’s position that the Mondays sit-at-home order in the region remains cancelled
Speaking to DAILY POST, Powerful said;
“South-East governors cannot stop the wishes of the people because they have failed the masses and sit-at-home is the only way our people show their displeasure and that they are tired of Nigeria and its security brutality in our territory. South-East governors have no stand to stop it.
“IPOB can only stop sit-at-home because they initiated it. We stopped Monday sit-at-home because we found out the implications on our people, but the Nigerian Government and their politicians hijacked it and killed people to implicate IPOB worldwide. Very soon, they will understand how we will handle it because we have discovered all their antics and gimmicks. IPOB will not allow that to continue.
“So South-East governors cannot do anything unless IPOB and the public do. We still stand on no more Monday sit-at-home and anybody enforcing it is not IPOB. They will get their reward soon; our people should stop Monday sit-at-home because IPOB has stopped it openly, and we are not going back on that. Last Monday, Hope Uzodinma recruited some hoodlums who were attacking people in the name of IPOB in order to implicate us as a violent group which is not and that attack was not from IPOB security.”
