Lets end sit-at-home orders – Ohanaeze to Southeast Governors

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, a cultural group, has asked the governors in the Southeast to work with them to lift the sit-down ban within 40 days.

Okechukwu Isiguzoro, a factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, released a statement in which he expressed his dismay at the role of Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa, who is based in Finland, in the criminality afflicting the Southeast.

“The Southeast region of Nigeria has been plagued by various challenges, including sit-at-home orders and violent agitations,” the statement adds. Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the leading Igbo social and cultural group, has issued a challenge to the governors of the Southeast in response to these problems.

They have asked for 40 days to resolve the crisis and end the home-bound orders and violence that have followed.

The suggestion that the governors of the Southeast take Ohanaeze Ndigbo up on their offer of assistance is a plea to work together as one. It is crucial that all parties involved put aside their differences and collaborate to bring about lasting peace and stability in the Southeast.

As the organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo put it, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s challenge to the Southeast governors to give them 40 days to end the sit-at-home orders and violent agitations in Southeast Nigeria is a call for collaboration and peace.”

Isiguzoro insisted that the governors can bring peace back to the Southeast in 40 days if they adopt the Ohanaeze’s “homemade solutions.”
