The lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has issued a stern warning to a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Speaking while addressing over 2000 vigilante operatives at the Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, Nnewi, Anambra State on Monday, the lawmaker declared that henceforth, there would be no more sit-at-home in his constituency.
He lamented that the Monday sit-at-home which has lasted for at least two years has crumbled business opportunities in his constituency.
Simon Ekpa, a citizen of Finland, had introduced the Monday sit-at-home in the Southeast as a protest against Kanu’s detention.
Ubah, who claimed that Ekpa has been seeking his attention, warned the secessionist against enforcing any sit-at-home in Nnewi, asking him to start with his people in Ebonyi State.
He said: “For good two years now, we have observed sit-at-home every Monday. We have found out that we are losing jobs and business opportunities. As a representative of the good people of Anambra South, we say we will not continue to have sit-at-home on Mondays.
“From this Monday, every business venture will be opened in Nnewi.
“This is your warning Simon Ekpa, for 17 good times, you have mentioned Ifeanyi Uba. You have been seeking my attention, 17 good times and I am replying you today.
“Never ever mention Ifeanyi Uba or Nnewi again. You are in Finland contesting for councilor or whatever. You go for your job every Monday but you want to ridicule us because you have internet to run propaganda.
“Start your sit-at-home from Ebonyi before you mention Anambra and Nnewi. I am telling you Simon Ekpa, be careful.”
