The Apex Igbo socio-cultural Organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo youth council Worldwide has called on their people in the region to henceforth resist the reign of terror by the militant wing of the IPOB as it was no longer fashionable. The organization made the call today after a declaration of sit-at-home by Simon Ekpa, popularly known as Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) disciple. Reacting to Mr. Ekpa’s order today in Abuja, the National President of the Ohaneze Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, said, “It was now clear that Ekpa was being sponsored by enemies of Igboland.
Nnabuike added, “How can any right-thinking person ask people to sit-at-home for five consecutive days at a time the country’s economic woes were biting harder?
He noted that “We are a few days away from the Christmas and New Year celebration, with a lot of bills for parents to pay, including house rent and school fees by January.
“But someone who is in faraway Finland, in the comfort of his room is telling parents and breadwinners to stay at home for five days, he queried.
Nnabuike explained that “It is even more curious that the said Ekpa has no regard for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyers, yet he claims to be Kanu’s disciple. The IPOB leader, Kanu spoke this week through his lawyer that he did not give orders for any sit-at-home. He spoke on the economic implications on the same people he is fighting for their freedom. So whose interest is Simon Ekpa serving?
He continued, “A clear analysis of his statement clearly showed that enemies of Ndigbo paid him to ensure total destruction of the Southeast economy. Both Ekpa and his sponsors are enemies of Ndigbo and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. But we will no longer allow their reign of terror to continue. This will not be allowed to happen”.
The Youth leader called on the people of the southeast to ignore Mr. Ekpa describing the order as a ‘senseless order’ this is coming as the IPOB has declared that there is no sit-at-home again.
