Igbo Ekunie Initiative, one of the leading voices on issues concerning Ndi Igbo in Nigeria and the Diaspora has reacted to the threat by the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, of shutting down the South East for one month if their leader is not brought to court scheduled for October 20th, 2021, Njenje Media News reports.

In a press statement made available to Njenje Media News, the Igbo centric organisation in their response to the IPOB statement noted that, the “threat of one month Sit-at-home in the Southeast if Nnamdi Kanu is not produced in court on the 20th of October 2021 by the federal government, as a strategy would have no effect whatsoever on the federal government”.

“Secondly; it’s counter-productive and unpopular”.

“Our people are very poor. Most survive on day to day hustle to feed. When you sit them at home; you end up punishing the same people you are supposed to protect”.

“This will in time lead to resentment against IPOB. Which is something the federal government would want to weaken the struggle”.

“We strongly advise the federal government to adhere to the rule of law and make sure that Nnamdi Kanu is produced in court on the appointed date and that he is accorded his fundamental right to a fair hearing”.

“In the same vein, we would strongly advise IPOB to jettison the idea of sit-at-home”.

“There are more sophisticated and intellectual ways to agitate without hurting the already suffering masses”.
