The Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has given reasons why people in the South-East still adhere to the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) despite its suspension.

According to Umahi, “it is a question of fear”.

He stated this while speaking with State House correspondents on Monday, following a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Umahi, however, warned that if the situation does not change, the economy of the South East will be affected.

The Governor said: “It is a question of fear. You know, the easiest thing to do is to carry a weapon and kill somebody, and that’s what happened in the past.

“And that’s why, you know, some people in the south- east are afraid of coming out.

So it’s not a question of compliance. It’s a question of fear.

“You’ll find out that no south-east man wants to miss a day of work. They like to work, they are into trade, commerce, and they want to earn their daily living.

“So this is something that the nation Nigeria must know. And it’s something that security agencies must know. Security agencies must know that they owe south-east people the duty to protect their lives and this is the reason why it appears that in some states, there is compliance to sit at home, even though like you said, IPOB has said it’s suspended.

“But it’s the worst thing to happen to the south-east because it will destroy the economy of the south-east.”

Mr Umahi let's analyse this "Fear"

After the pogrom of Northern Nigeria, Ndigbo returned to that same North, same place, same house. Where was the fear?

After taking over Igbo properties in PH and other parts of present say rivers state (abandoned property), Ndigbo still returned to the same PH and built more houses, clubs and hotels than before. Where was the fear?

After the Massacre of Obigbo by Wike, Ndigbo still trooped in. Where was the fear?

After the Second World War in Orlu that lasted months, even fighter jets and tanks were deployed, Ndigbo still traded at Night during the heat of the battles as if nothing is happening. Where was the fear?

You yourself threatened people that sat at home, threatened to lock their shops forever, sacked some but the sitting still continues. Where is the fear for you?

So now, you want us to believe that Ndigbo out of fear for someone in you peoples custody refused to come out of their houses. The same Ndigbo that went through all the things I listed above? What would we be afraid of? Death or what?

Mr Umahi, lie with caution oh

Mr Umahi, lie with caution oh

Emperormartin:
This is a lie from governor umahi.

Every Biafran is observing it as a true Comradeship for Biafran purpose.

But Nigerians especially those that hallucinates when they hear the word "Biafra" will believe him

onumadu:
Umahi lied as usual.

Let me elaborate:

I watched a Youtube video by "Flo" the Nigerian Igbo Youtuber who talks about food and finance.

This video was from last week. In that video, she was in a village market at Umunze called "New Nkwo market", and it was not even on a Monday sit at home day.
A local foodstuff seller was looking very angry and sad when Flo wanted to buy something from him and she asked him why he was looking angry, and the man said that he was very angry because "our leader Nnamdi Kanu is still in detention".
This was inside a VILLAGE AT UMUNZE ANAMBRA STATE, and it was not even a Monday o.

The level of anger in the South East concerning Kanu's ordeal is seething and growing daily.
That anger is enough to destroy even the whole of West Africa should it erupt if anything happens to Kanu.
That is why people like Umahi should not be listened to. They have lost all legitimacy, and anyone listening to them is making a grave mistake.

Adarich:
It would have been best for Imo State Governor to reschedule Buhari's visit to next Monday, at least the roads will be clear.
