Hope Uzodimma, Imo State governor, on Wednesday, claimed that residents of the state have not been complying with the sit-at-home order by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB).

Uzodinma said only a constituted authority like his government can give order on when people should stay away from their work or businesses.

The governor spoke while fielding questions from State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

However, against his claim, reports backed with pictures showed that despite IPOB suspending the order in the South-east, shops, schools and banks were shut in Owerri, the state capital, on Monday.

“To the extent of what I know on the sit-at-home order, even the people on their own called off the sit-at-home order. In Imo State, it is not being observed. People are doing their businesses”, Uzodinma said.

“Most people in Imo are businessmen and women who depend on their daily activities and income to feed their families. So, they cannot afford to sit at home idle and allow hunger to ravage the state.

“Southeast has a pan-leadership organization, which is in charge of culture and social activities, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

“So, I don’t want to speak for them and I know in Imo State, there is only one Governor and only the governor can order, working with other members of the government, that people should sit at home and it will be obeyed.

“I don’t want to sit here and recognise that there is any order outside the government of Imo State because there is a government. IPOB is not a government in Imo State. The state government has not authorised anything at all. And like I did say a few minutes ago, in Imo State, people are going about their businesses. Workers are going to work and normal business activities are ongoing. And for now, I told you that Imo State is relatively calm.

“In Imo State, students sat for all the exams. They were not affected and I don’t think the sit-at-home works in Imo State. If you check your facts very well, they will tell you that our students sat for the exams and the exams went on”.

The Imo governor, while speaking on the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra, expressed optimism that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will win the election.

“You know our President. You know him (Mr President), he will only encourage you. He doesn’t interfere. We are in charge of the campaign.

“I’m the chairman of the campaign council. And the good news is that the political leadership in Igbo land has resolved to be part of the federal government, to participate at the national level, to live the provincial championship to national championship.

“So, what we have decided to do is to ensure that we embrace the ruling party, the APC. And we are taking the message to Anambra.

“And by the grace of God, Anambra people will buy the message and Igbo land will be recovered,” he said.
