Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organisation has urged President Bola Tinubu to declare a state of emergence over the sit-at-home order in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Ohanaeze said declaring a state of emergency would send a strong signal to the Southeast governors, who would now be compelled to find a lasting solution to the order.<\/p>\n

A Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, had severally declared sit-at-homes in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

The order by Ekpa had aggravated the crisis in the Southeast, a situation that had led to an attempt to cripple the economic activities of the region.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Ohanaeze\u2019s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the body would not allow Ekpa to destroy the economic activities of the Southeast.<\/p>\n

Speaking with DAILY POST, Isiguzoro said: \u201cA desperate moment needs desperate action. We want to warn again that Ohanaeze will not fold its arms and allow miscreants to destroy economic activities in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf possible, where this sit-at-home is happening should be declared a state of emergency. This is what Tinubu would do that will make the Southeast governors sit up and find a lasting solution to the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cEkpa has declared a second Biafra War, which Igbos are not ready to fight. Igbos are supporting Tinubu and would assist in ensuring that this rebellion is squashed.<\/p>\n

\u201cEkpa\u2019s action is an attempt to divide Igbos, and we wonder why Peter Obi and the rest are not talking. We hope this is not a conspiracy against the president.\u201d<\/p>\n
