Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo state has said that his people do not take orders from the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
This, he said, accounted for the failure of IPOB’s recent stay-at-home order in Imo state.
Speaking with newsmen Wednesday after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja, Uzodinma said it was only his government that can give order on when people can stay away from their work or businesses and they will obey.
According to him, it is because people in the state do not obey IPOB’s order that normal activities have continued to flourish in Imo.
He said: “IPOB is not a government in Imo state and cannot order people to sit at home,” adding that people who depend on their businesses to make their daily bread cannot afford to stay at home.
