Aloy Ejimakor, who serves as legal counsel to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has explained the approach South-East state governments should adopt to bring an end to the Monday sit-at-home.
According to Ejimakor, any attempt to stop the weekly
sit-at-home must be anchored on meaningful engagement rather than imposed
directives.
He made this known in a post shared on X, where he noted
that the sit-at-home has evolved beyond its initial purpose.
He said what began as a protest against Kanu’s extraordinary
rendition, he said, has now transformed into a broader form of quiet resistance
by the Igbo people against the Nigerian state.
He wrote: “The Monday #SitAtHome has turned from a strike
against the rendition/detention of MAZI NNAMDI KANU to a pan-Igbo passive
resistance against the Nigerian State for the anti-Igbo justice system that
propelled #MNK’s prosecution & conviction. Ending it requires dialogue, not
fiat.”
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Government, under Governor
Charles Soludo, recently ordered the shutdown of the Onitsha Main Market for
one week.
The decision followed traders’ refusal to resume business
activities on Monday, as many continued to comply with the sit-at-home
directive associated with IPOB.
