SIT-AT-HOME: Prof Nwaokobia Tells South East Governors To Support Peter Mbah

The Convener CountryFirst Movement, Prof Chris Mustapher Nwaokobia Jnr., has called on south east governors to join hands with the governor of Enugu state in his new approach to finding a lasting solution to the sit at home order by Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB).

Nwaokobia in a press statement titled ” Disrupting The Sit-At-Home Regime, Ndigbo, Peter Mbah And The Rest Of Us”, said the continue Sit-At-Home Regime has done incalculable damage to business in the South East, hurting the region more than anything else since the Civil War, and cannot continue.

Nwaokobia said Peter Mbah the new Governor of Enugu State is not daring or spoiling for war with IPOB by declaring an end to Sit-At-Home in Enugu State, but that the governor is only calling out Ndigbo to an entirely new thinking, to devise a new strategy for the development of the South East, and for a new approach to the call for justice for Ndigbo, and for freedom for Nnamdi Kanu.

A few days ago a new helmsman took charge at the Lion Building in Enugu as Governor, his name is Barrister Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, a Lawyer and an accomplished Businessman. What strikes a huge cord in me about the new watchman is not just his sense of urgency and humility but his readiness to disrupt old values, biases and myths, and like a man possessed with a deep sense of responsibility and purpose he has called out Ndigbo to think differently and to do things differently.

“In June 2021 the Indigenous People Of Biafra IPOB announced a Monday Sit-At-Home Regime that was to commence across the South East in August of that year until Nnamdi Kanu’s release from custody. Almost two years after, Nnamdi Kanu is still in custody and the South East suffers the loss of her Mondays, businesses atrophy, man hours lost, schools and markets are closed and fear pervades the entire region. To whose gain, you may wonder.

The Sit-At-Home Regime has done incalculable damage to business in the South East, it has hurt the region more than anything else since the Civil War, and we cannot continue to cut our nose to spite our faces. We must do things differently, that’s what Barrister Peter Mbah the new Governor of Enugu State is saying. He is not daring IPOB or spoiling for war with IPOB by declaring an end to Sit-At-Home in Enugu State, he is only calling out Ndigbo to an entirely new thinking, to devise a new strategy for the development of the South East, and for a new approach to the call for justice for Ndigbo, and for freedom for Nnamdi Kanu.”
