Anambra Poll: Enforce 1-week sit-at-home order, loose Ndigbo’s support- Ohanaeze Ndigbo replies IPOB *Calls for Kanu’s unconditional release

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has condemned in totality the threat by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, hence the 7-days sit-at-home order to hamper the Anambra State Governorship election slated for November 6.

It would be recalled that IPOB had threatened one week sit-at-home order with effect from November 5 to November 10, to prevail on the Federal Government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

Famousreporters.com had quoted IPOB’s publicity Secretary, Comrd. Emma Powerful, in a statement, on Saturday, wherein the group had called for the unconditional release of their leader, insisting that, “Failure to release our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on or before November 4, 2021, our one week Sit-At-Home begins on November 5, 2021 till November 10.”

This, however, did not go down well with the parent the apex Social-cultural group in Igboland, hence Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, as they, in a swift reaction, on Sunday, kicked against the one-week sit-at-home declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The declaration, targeted at the November 6 Anambra election, has been attracting wild condemnation.

In a statement by the Secretary-General of the Chidi Ibeh-led apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he said Ndigbo should not obey the order this time.

The statement reads: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has deciphered that any declaration that unleashes untold hardship, the collapse of commercial and industrial activities, a boycott of Anambra elections, and interrupts the academic calendar in South-Eastern states is viewed as nonsensical, absurd, and anti-Igbo agenda for the enemies’ 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.

“IPOB should discern that there have been self-determination struggles in Africa, before now, Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in jail, never in the annals of the history of the movement against Apartheid, was starvation, anguish, and catastrophe unleashed on Black South Africans by ANC, it’s an impulsive and reckless imperilment against Igbo to order them to observe one-week sit-at-home when it’s obvious that Nnamdi Kanu will not be released without the approval of courts.

“Secondly had IPOB declined to learn from the blunders and mistakes of former MASSOB leader Ralph Uwazurike on the boycott of population census of 2001 which made Igbo the majority-minority in Nigeria, attempts to boycott Anambra elections evidently will favour APC to win Anambra elections. IPOB should revisit and nullify the one-week sit-at-home or they will likely lose the support of Igbo henceforth, Ndigbo must participate in Anambra and nothing should stop it.

“Ndigbo should ask anyone enforcing the one-week sit-at-home, if they know the plight of common people who are street vendors on perishable goods, artisans, motorists, market traders, furthermore Ndigbo should check out the investments of those calling for one-week sit-at-home, if proponents of the sit-at-home don’t have any visible investments in the South-East, then it’s time for Igbo to retreat from observation of the sit-at-home and defer it from henceforth.

“We call for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu since the Federal Government had refused to declare bandit terrorist.”
