Sit-At-Home: Igboho Hails Kanu for Suspension Move

The convicted leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been praised by Yoruba nation activist Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, for the alleged lifting of the Monday sit-at-home order in the South-East states.

According to Igboho, the development would boost socioeconomic activity in the area and foster an atmosphere that would support the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.

The Monday sit-at-home edict, which had been in effect for around five years, was reportedly canceled by Kanu, who is presently incarcerated for life at the Sokoto Correctional Facility for terrorism.

Igboho characterized Kanu’s choice as timely and well-considered in a statement released by his attorney, Mr. Pelumi Olanjengbesi.

“I want to urge the IPOB leader to vigorously explore dialogue and mediation with the Federal Government to break the deadlock in his current ordeal,” the statement said in part.

According to Igboho, communication is still a feasible route to peace and security, even though self-determination is still a fundamental right.

“I think that the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is inclined to negotiation and mutual understanding for the peace, shared prosperity, security, and the deserved respect that the South-East commands,” he said, adding that Mazi Kanu has the fundamental right to pursue self-determination.

In the interest of peace and prosperity, the activist also urged those who are purportedly profiting off the region’s strife to stop.

For the sake of regional and national peace and economic growth, he continued, “it is equally imperative to appeal to all those who profit from the desecration and despoliation of the South-East through violence to desist from such acts.”
