DAVID Umahi, Ebonyi State governor has threatened to deal with traders in the state who obey the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB).

It is the tradition of Pro-Biafra groups to always sit-at-home annually on May 30 to commemorate the dead of those who lost their lives in the struggle.

Mr Umahi while addressing the people at the 2018 democracy day celebration on Tuesday threatened to permanently forfeit the shop of any trader in the state who obeys the order from IPOB.

Mr Umahi who said such order would not be observed his state noted that the manner in which IPOB was pursuing its course was not right as the Ohaneze Ndigbo took the right action in the comity of Ibo sons and daughters.



“We do not need distractions or second colonisation as we continue to believe in God to change our narrative with no man born of a woman setting us back.

“Any trader that closes shop on the day will forfeit it forever and any protest will be decisively dealt with.

“Ebonyi indigenes should go about their businesses peacefully and safely and if the South-East governors say we don’t want IPOB activities, it does not mean that we are happy with the zone’s marginalisation in the country.

“We call on the Federal Government to look into the plight of South-east and address the issue of marginalisation because we believe in one Nigeria that will enshrine justice and fairness.

“We also believe in the sanctity of human lives and call on the citizens to cooperate in ensuring the growth and development of the state and country,” he said.

Mr Umahi during the occasion to reeled out his government’s achievements in education, health, agriculture, infrastructure development, commerce and industry and human empowerment among other sectors.

However, the Deputy Coordinator of the Biafra separatists in the state, Mr. Ugochukwu Nweke, vowed that it would implement its sit-at-home order in all parts of the state

“What I am saying is that our activities will go on tomorrow as planned all over the world, not only here in Ebonyi. Government has no right whatsoever to takeover anybody’s shop on the grounds of closing their shop to honour the sit-at-home order.

“Our activities tomorrow will be monitored through our searchlight. Government has no power to give such order. We are going ahead to carry out our activities tomorrow. Nobody can stop us from doing that,” vowed Nweke.

Autocratic threat in Democracy because of Buhari?

why won't he talk anyhow after all he no longer need their vote

Pharaoh Umahi....God must surely take your life!

you must surely reap what you sow!

This fool here is the very antithesis of what Igbo elite should be; placing 'one Nigeria' and subservience to the caliphate before the interest of his people!

Absolutely disgusting!

I dislike Ipob but they have every right to the celebration of whatever ist dat day means to them.
They are fellow humans first

This man is not wise at all. Why threatening the people that voted for you. Those people that called this country a zoo didn't lie at all.

lalasticlala

We shall know who is the most obstinate between government and ipob...





Survival of the fittest tomorrow..

DO NOT ONLY LOCK UP THEIR SHOPS BUT ARREST THEM, FOR LISTENING TO THE WAILING OF A USELESS TERRORIST GROUP.

WHERE IS COWNU? THAT USELESS COWARD.

"Leflendum" KO...

Nonsensical... they are only good at spreading hate and false news.
I'M WAITING FOR THEIR E-PIGS...

Umahi, I laugh at you because Biafrans never forget...

The Igbos ain't cowards

We say what we do and do what we say

Watch out for tomorrow

Coward, I don't want to open my shop tomorrow, na by force?

Mumu governor...how re going to do that?...an issue u Shud have jus stayed cleared from...

Rants of a power hungry stooge,

Is it ur shop , abi you dey pay their shop rent

Igbos will freely decide to sit at home or open their shops and there's nothing the spineless governor or his cohorts can do

TimFisher:


Pharaoh Umahi....God must surely take your life!

you must surely reap what you sow!

eh pain am shaa

Umahi must be high on expired cow dung.

You're not my landlord or the one that paid for my shop. How will I lose it if I decide to sit at home?. You must be a chest beater.

Is this democracy. How can government dictate to me how to open my shop? Buhari is biting more than he can chew by not going after herdsmen and Umahi will lose the peoples goodwill soon.

That's how Rochas wrecked Ipob in Imo State while Ikpeazu was busy pussyfooting till soldiers used koboko to reset their brains.


It's people like Umahi and Rochas that fit these Ipob miscreants I swear.

IPOB's right now

The Northern Govs have never called the Fulani Herdmen to order and they kill.

IPOB simply want to remember those who were killed and it's a problem!

You will loose the next election .

Almaiga:
IPOB's right now

This guy dey fear IPOB.

Just to remember our dead dey fear the Fulani, when we leave 9ja wetin go happen.

Some governors don't think before they talk

Mumu Umahi you must be high if you think you can threatn Igbo traders like this..

..is it by force??..So if 99% of traders lock their shops,you will seize those shops ..Are you the one who rented or bought the shops for them??..clueless clown

I can see buhari/APC stuppidity has infected you badly...That is how they have been governing Nigeria,with the least common-sense found in humans..reason why the Economy is a wreck under their watch

Anyway i trust my people..You just made the sit-at-home a huge success.

What a stupid threat?

sit at home and forget about your shops

This ain't democracy

Nonsense

TimFisher:


Pharaoh Umahi....God must surely take your life!

you must surely reap what you sow!

Empty threats and curses since 1970.

If you're pained, leave your 2by2 chicken-cage-sized shop in Okokomaiko and go to Abakaliki to vote him out.

Or you want to give an empty ultimatum like Ohaneze?
