IPOB’s Sit-At-Home Order Affecting Preparations For Election in Anambra - INEC by MANDIPUTIN(op): 7:21am On Sep 17, 2021

Nwachukwu Orji, resident electoral commissioner (REC) in Anambra, says the sit-at-home directive by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is affecting preparations for the governorship election in the state.

Orji stated this on Thursday, after the opening ceremony of the election monitoring and support centre (EMSC) amber zone implementers’ workshop, held in Anambra.

IPOB, which is seeking to secede from Nigeria, had declared a sit-at-home on Mondays, beginning from August 9, as protest against the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the group.

The group had later reversed the decision, but several areas in the south-east have remained deserted — despite the suspension.

The Anambra governorship election is scheduled to hold on November 6.

Speaking to journalists after the event, which held in Nibo, Awka south LGA of Anambra, Orji said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will ensure that the challenges are addressed.

“Our preparations are on course, even with all the challenges we are facing, such as the attacks on our state office on May 23rd and the sit-at-home order, which is eating into our preparations,” NAN quoted him to have said.

“But we are doing our best to ensure that we overcome these challenges, and we can only urge the public to be law abiding in order to achieve the desired electoral success in the state.”

The REC said the commission is already recruiting ad hoc staff for the electoral exercise, adding that INEC should be ready for smooth conduct of the election, as long as there are no further interruptions.

He also clarified the issue of supplying non-sensitive materials for the election from INEC’s south-eastern zonal store in Imo.

“The sensitive materials will go to the Central Bank of Nigeria branch in Awka. But we are not talking about sensitive materials here, so there is no need for the alarm being raised,” he said.

“The commission is working according to plans to put all things in place by the end of this month.

“Election process is something that does not have room for mistakes. We make sure that in the process of preparing for election, all that are needed would be on ground.”

You are lamenting just because of only a day out of a week, pray sit-at-home directives isn't given on that day of election.

Modified: you guys should stop quoting me with all the gibberish about imposition of a candidate as a winner if there is a sit-at-home on that day, we don't give a damn about all these useless polithiefcians. The Uzodimma's supreme court foolery is still there, most people came out and voted but they still went contrary to the masses choice and imposed nonsense on us. Nigeria is gone, the institution is nothing to write home about, so far you do the bidding of the party at the center your corruption cases will be forgotten hence all of them (politicians) won't perform.

The truth is that this Sit at home is affecting everybody and every region. Though some like to pretend that nothing is happening but those that understand business knows, it's affecting every region.

Go to all the major markets in all states and ask those traders about their business on Mondays, you will understand better.

Even federal government are loosing through VAT and other channels.

We should blame the south east governors for the continuation of this sit at home. They have sold their rights to the extents that their subjects don't regard them anymore.

How do you expect people to calm down when their leader was kidnapped unjustly.

And Some other people are hypocrites like if they also kidnapped their own leader they won't do even more, just because of h@tr*d they'll always condemn what majority of igbo does to show awareness that they are not happy. Let's all be real and set sentiment and bitterness aside. sad
