Sit-at-home: Let’s be aware of discord in Igboland – Nnamdi Kanu’s lawyer
Aloy Ejimakor, the legal representative for Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has urged the Igbo community to remain cautious of potential discord within their region. His warning comes in the context of the ongoing Sit-at-Home orders observed across the Southeast, with recent events intensifying the debate surrounding these actions.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State recently shut down the Onitsha main market due to traders’ refusal to abandon the Monday Sit-at-Home practice. This decision sparked widespread controversy, dividing opinions between those who support the governor’s stance and those who condemn it. In light of this unrest, Ejimakor emphasized the importance of vigilance among the Igbo populace. He expressed concern that some individuals might exploit the situation to create divisions within the community.
Ejimakor acknowledged the desire among many to see the end of the Sit-at-Home orders but highlighted the need for a nuanced approach. He suggested that any resolution should factor in the underlying issues that prompted the initial protests and the continuation of the Sit-at-Home directive. This call for caution reflects a broader concern about the potential for external forces to manipulate internal disagreements within Igboland, particularly during such a volatile period.
Overall, Ejimakor’s statement serves as a reminder for the Igbo people to remain united and discerning in facing challenges affecting their region, rather than allowing divisive sentiments to take hold.
