By Adegboyega Adeleye Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah says residents have overcome the fear that kept roads and communities quiet on Mondays during the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) sit-at-home campaign, pointing to security measures along key routes in the state.
Mbah spoke at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign flag-off in Nsukka on Wednesday, saying the change meant people could travel without the fear of attacks that had previously disrupted movement.
“The other thing that reminds me is that we have kissed empty Mondays goodbye. All the challenges we had travelling on that road because of fear of attack, today, we have kissed it goodbye,” he said. The sit-at-home was initially called by IPOB in 2021 in solidarity with its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Although the order was later suspended in 2026, fear of attacks continued to keep businesses and public activity subdued on some Mondays.
