Peter Obi And Other Stakeholders Should Do More On ‘Sit-At-Home’ – Buhari Ex-Aide

Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, has called on the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to speak against the lingering ‘sit-at-home’ being observed in the Southeast states.

Naija News reports that this follows the fresh threat issued by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, concerning the sit-at-home exercise.

The detained IPOB leader said following his declaration to end the sit-at-home in the region, anyone or group caught using his name, IPOB, or its armed wing – Eastern Security Network (ESN), to enforce the cancelled sit-at-home to raise funds will have him to deal with.

Kanu issued the threat on Monday through his special lawyer, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor.

He said that using his name, IPOB or ESN, to conduct fundraising or enforce illegal sit-at-home is a crime and that anyone or group doing it is deliberately working against his release from the Department of State Services (DSS) custody.

In a post via Twitter, Bashir suggested that leaders and stakeholders in the Southeast should do more to publicly condemn the exercise.

He reiterated how the ‘Sit-At-Home’ exercise had destroyed people’s lives, including their businesses.

Bashir added that Peter  Obi and other stakeholders should do more because the majority of victims and culprits are their supporters.

He tweeted, “Leaders and stakeholders in the SE should be seen more as they publicly condemn the unwelcome, unasked, unbidden, and de trop ‘sit-at-home’ that has been destroying people’s lives and their businesses. Nnamdi Kanu from the prison, already condemned and distanced himself from it not once, not twice. Peter and other stakeholders should do more because majority of victims and culprits are their supporters.”
