Press Statement

this is not who we are, he says.
Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has taken stock of the implications and socio economic consequences of the sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and called for its cessation.

The former governor of Enugu State who represents the Enugu East Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate, bemoaned the continuous sit-at-home order that has brought the economy and social life in the South East to its knees .

Senator Nnamani said the trinity of Igbo character is defined by igba mbo (hustle), akonuche (cot of wisdom) and njepu (sojourn), pointing out that the sit-at-home order is antithetical to the innate Igbo tripartite traits and a betrayal of Igbo interest.

Senator Nnamani therefore wants the order discountenanced forthwith because of the continuous damage to the economy and psyche of the Igbo people.

He stressed: “Most of our people live on daily income . Think of the market women who depend on daily earnings to feed their families. Think of students writing external examinations being denied access to the venues.

“How does enslaving our people, denial of means of livelihood add value to our quest for equity and justice? If others reject us, should we also reject ourselves?

“It stands to reason that this order cannot be a way out. We cannot abandon ourselves.

“In our struggle for equity and justice in the Nigerian federation, we cannot inadvertently inflict more injuries on ourselves by this sit-at-home order. Let wise counsel prevail”.

Senator Nnamani called on all men and women of goodwill to prevail on the protagonists of sit-at-home order to restore normalcy in South East Zone .

He expressed abhorrence for any agitation through violent approaches, saying that with tenacity of purpose and determination, the quest for equity and justice would be realized.

He should go and rest, this is the best form of non violent protest I have seen for a while and the level of complaince is so good.

As a Niger deltan I'm at awe and jealous of the kind of support the greater number of Igbos are giving to this fight for justice.

Non violent by shutting down economy activities is foolishness.
