Read full details of what Igbo elders have said about planned 5-day sit-at-home

  • Every move to sabotage Ndigbo in the forthcoming general elections will be resisted, the leaders of the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum have said
  • Chukwuemeka Ezeife alleged that some individuals are planning to use the five-day sit-at-home to manipulate the people against participating in the election
  • Ezeife also called on the Igbo people to reject the sit-at-home announced by a leader of the IPOB Simon Ekpa

Elders in the southeast region have called on residents of various states to reject the five-day sit-at-home declared by a Finland-based leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa.

The Punch reports that the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum led by a former Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, described Ekpa’s order as draconian with the tendencies of epitomising insensitivity to the plight of Ndigbo.
