Senator Ifeanyi Ubah To Implement Show Of Force To Counter Sit-At-Home

Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, the senator who represents Anambra South Senatorial District, has committed to end the Monday sit-at-home in his district as of right now.

The Indigenous People of Biafra organized a Monday sit-at-home demonstration in the South-East to voice their displeasure with Nnamdi Kanu’s ongoing incarceration.

On Sunday, Ubah claimed that the region’s customary sit-at-home day did not bode well for the populace.

At the Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium in Nnewi, Ubah made this statement on Sunday while speaking to vigilantes and community security watch members from the city’s four neighborhoods.

The senator, during the meeting, also unveiled a number of security gadgets and equipment he procured for security operations in Nnewi constituency and environs.

Ubah said, “The abrogation of the self-inflicted injury called Monday sit-at-home would start from this Monday, July 3. We are going to march in a road show across various markets and roads tomorrow (Monday) to demonstrate to the people that they are safe and should start coming out for business Mondays.

“The vigilantes have been charged to beef up security around all the major markets in Nnewi and ensure that traders and their goods are given adequate protection from the so-called unknown gunmen this Monday and subsequent Mondays to stamp out the cankerworm called sit-at-home.

 “Monday is a serious day for business and economic activities, but the sit-at-home has spoilt businesses, commerce and economy in the region. It has thrown our youths out of jobs and this cannot continue.”

He disclosed that the security gadgets and equipment he procured included “CCTV cameras, patrol vans, motorcycles, walkie talkies, wooden ‘osisi agaga’ from Nnewi evil forests.”

“I am handing these equipment over to the vigilantes to help them in tackling any resultant security breach that may arise as we resolve to end this cankerworm called ‘sit-at-home’.”

Also speaking, the President-General, Nnewi Town Union, Dr Maduako Atuenyi.

“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,”Atuenyi said.
