Sit-at-home order: Enough is enough, says MASSOB

The group, therefore, called on the five Southeast governors to sack any market or national union leadership that promotes sit-at-home from September 20.

In a statement issued on Friday by the leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, the group condemned the criminal and violent acts of some miscreants under the disguise of pro-Biafra agitators.

They maintained that the “miscreants” were causing havoc and atrocities during Mondays’ sit-at-home exercise under the guise of agitation for Biafra.

“We can no longer watch criminals destroying the economies of Ndigbo in the name of sit at home exercise. It is no longer acceptable to MASSOB.

“Starting from Monday, 20th of September, there will be no more sit-at-home exercise for the people of Biafra.

“The weekly sit-at-home exercise has inflicted uncountable economic injuries on Ndigbo. It is an exercise in futility.

“The weekly sit-at-home exercises are no longer for Biafra actualization and restoration; it is setting the struggle backward.

“MASSOB charges the governors of South East region to remove any market chairman or tricycle union chairman or National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) chairman or any other chairman of commercial unions that continue complying with the Monday sit at home exercises.
