'I know saboteurs will try to sabotage our efforts, but we’re resolved to fight any aggressor that will come into this town,' the senator says.
Ifeanyi Ubah, a Nigerian senator, has vowed to stop every Monday sit-at-home in Anambra South District, where he represents.Mr Ubah, a member of the Young Progressives Party, disclosed this at the Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, Nnewi, Anambra State, on Sunday, when he addressed members of Anambra Vigilante Group and community security watch operatives from the four quarters of Nnewi.
Mr Ubah said Mondays are “serious days for business and economic activities,” regretting that the sit-at-home had destroyed businesses in the South-east. “By Monday, July 3, we will embark on a show of force, it is our economy that is suffering. Anybody that does not open his shop on Monday, the community will lock his or her shop for six months.”
The separatist group later suspended the order, in preference for it to be implemented only on days Mr Kanu appears in court. Simon Ekpa, a leader of Autopilot, a faction of the IPOB, has continued to declare the sit-at-home order in the region despite being suspended by the IPOB faction led by Mr Kanu.
