By Samuel Ogunsona

President Bola Tinubu has been asked to declare a state of emergency in the five states of the South East.

The Pan Igbo group i
Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural group made the call in a statement by its Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro.

The Sit At Home has brought many woes for the people of the region,the group said.

He said the group would not allow Simon Ekpa to destroy the economic activities of the Southeast.

Ekpa is based abroad from where he coordinates Sit At Home orders.

Isiguzoro said: “A desperate moment needs desperate action. We want to warn again that Ohanaeze will not fold its arms and allow miscreants to destroy economic activities in the Southeast.

“If possible, where this sit-at-home is happening should be declared a state of emergency. This is what Tinubu would do that will make the Southeast governors sit up and find a lasting solution to the problem.
