Sit-at-home: Ohanaeze Youths Back Mbah, Task Police, Others

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council has again supported Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State on his resolve to end the regular sit-at-home being ordered by a faction of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The national president of the council, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, gave the support in a statement he made available to journalists yesterday.

He, however, urged the security agencies to redouble their efforts in winning the confidence of the residents.

Okwu, who said the governor had worked his talk by providing more logistics to the police, noted that the security agencies owed a duty to ensure that hoodlums did not gain upper hand in the State.

He said, “We want to commend the Governor of Enugu State for his steadfastness towards ending the perennial sit-at-home which has done more harm than good.

“We, the Ohanaeze youths have been in the forefront demanding for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, but we have always said that sit-at-home will not bring Kanu out.

“Governor Peter Mbah showed leadership by meeting with President Tinubu over Kanu’s incarceration and we are sure the Tinubu government will give the request a positive consideration once his cabinet is formed,” he said.
