'Dead strategy': How Nnamdi Kanu described the sit-at-home order in the southeast - IPOB lawyer, Ejiofor reveals

Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said his principal has described the sit-at-home order because it was "dead strategy".

Barrister Ejiofor made this known in an exclusive interview with Daily Post over the weekend. According to him, Kanu has shot down the idea of sit-at-home order because he didn't see it as an effective strategy to champion his course in the southeast.

Ejiofor also called out Finland-based self-acclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government-in-Exile, describing him as a ‘conman’ and ‘opportunist’ exploiting the vacuum caused by Kanu’s incarceration to pursue his selfish agenda.

He added that Ekpa’s agenda runs contrary to the beliefs of Nnamdi Kanu.

"I want to clarify again that MNK (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) has totally canceled sit-at-home. This is because it is a dead strategy. Nnamdi Kanu didn’t start saying this today. This message has been on for almost two years. The first time this sit-at-home was suggested by the DOS, he instructed me to tell them that they should cancel it. He warned that the sit-at-home would make it easy for criminal gangs to take advantage and be causing havoc in our community," he said.

He said further: "The IPOB leadership were reasonable when I told them MNK’s directive on sit-at-home. They understood the point he was making and consequently proceeded to cancel it. Now when that was done and they announced the cancellation of the sit-at-home in line with the directive of MNK, that was when some people who were scheming for an opportunity to be relevant saw that as an avenue to launch themselves into the limelight."
