The last visit by the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Ebonyi
State elicited divergent views from the citizens of the state, especially when
he said he was going to shut down the state for three days in his next visit.
There were cheers. But there were audible grumbles in many quarters.
Some are of the view that
the IPOB leader had taken his agitation too far going by his pronouncements.
Others who listened to him were basking in the euphoria that the state had been
taken over by Biafra agitators.
This
development had stirred lots of mixed feelings and reactions from Ebonyi
people, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and even other Pro-Biafra agitators
in the state.
The
leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State had
earlier at the party’s secretariat warned that even as they were not averse to
genuine agitation, the state was opposed to protests that could degenerate into
violence and youth restiveness in the state.
The party chairman, Chief Onyekachi Nweboyi and the Youth
Leader, Elder Sam Igwe in separate press briefings said that the youths in the
state should avoid being lured into breaching the laws of the land. Igwe, the
youth leader who thronged the party office with youths numbering thousands told
them to remain peaceful and avoid any clash
