Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has tagged the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra a mere social media propaganda as he, lauds President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Imo state.
Uzodinma who spoke on Politics Today, a Channels TV broadcast on Thursday said the IPOB sit-at-home order was not effective in Imo.
“You could see that the sit at home order is only a social media sit at home order,” the governor said, “the sit at home order is not in Imo State because we never issued any sit at home order, Imo people are excited, Imo people are happy that the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, one united Nigeria with common destiny, visited Imo state, commissioned projects and spoke to his people,” he added.
Grassroots.ng reported Thursday, when President Buhari visited Imo State to inaugurate key projects embarked upon by Mr Uzodinma’s government.
The visit had raised security concerns following the IPOB’s sit-at-home order against the visit.
However, Uzodinma discarded the threat, saying that there was no form of security breach or violence during the president’s visit.
