The Indigenous People of Biafra has expressed dissatisfaction with the approach being taken by the Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, to end sit-at-home in the state.
IPOB said this in a statement on Thursday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful. The separatist group said the governor should stop militarising the state in the name of stopping sit-at-home, saying innocent persons were being victimised.
“Inasmuch as IPOB has suspended the Monday sit-at-home that has been going on in Biafraland, we condemn the mishandling of the current situation by the Enugu State Governor, Mr Peter Mbah. “The use of security forces to harass, intimidate, and humiliate our people in Enugu State is not acceptable.
IPOB said Mbah should learn from the way his predecessor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi “strategically managed the marauders enforcing sit-at-home without escalating the situation.”
“Peter Mbah should have known that he was voted into office for good governance not to waste time chasing shadows and wasting state scarce resources in quest of stopping the infamous sit-at-home,” Power said.
