    Ohanaeze has urged Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Southeast over sit-at-home orders.

    Ravenewsonline reports that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization has urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergence over the sit-at-home order in the Southeast.

    This online news platform understands that Ohanaeze said declaring a state of emergency would send a strong signal to the Southeast governors, who would now be compelled to find a lasting solution to the order.

    Recall that a Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, had severally declared sit-at-homes in the Southeast.

    The order by Ekpa had aggravated the crisis in the Southeast, a situation that had led to an attempt to cripple the economic activities of the region.

    Reacting, Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the body would not allow Ekpa to destroy the economic activities of the Southeast.

    Speaking with Daily Post, Isiguzoro said, “A desperate moment needs desperate action. We want to warn again that Ohanaeze will not fold its arms and allow miscreants to destroy economic activities in the Southeast.

    “If possible, where this sit-at-home is happening should be declared a state of emergency. This is what Tinubu would do that will make the Southeast governors sit up and find a lasting solution to the problem.

    “Ekpa has declared a second Biafra War, which Igbos are not ready to fight. Igbos are supporting Tinubu and would assist in ensuring that this rebellion is squashed.

    “Ekpa’s action is an attempt to divide Igbos, and we wonder why Peter Obi and the rest are not talking. We hope this is not a conspiracy against the president.”
