The Former Senator that represented the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone, Senator Shehu Sani, has kicked against the sit at home order that was imposed by the IPOB, across South Eastern parts of the country on the election day.

Recall that the outlawed separatist group had threatened to issue a sit-at-home order in the South East during the general elections.

Shehu Sani, a former Nigerian lawmaker and social critic, has sent a message to the South East zone.

He urged the residents of the South East zone to resist and disobey the sit-at-home order by Simon Ekpa’s faction of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB.

Senator Sani’s statement is contained in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Thursday.

Recall that the outlawed separatist group had threatened to issue a sit-at-home order in the South East during the general elections.

However, the former lawmaker has insisted that the sit-at-home order has a negative and retrogressive action against the democratic rights of the people in the South Eastern part of the country.

He wrote, “The sit-at-home order imposed on the South Eastern part of Nigeria by the separatist IPOB is a negative and retrogressive action against the democratic rights of the people in that region.

“It should be resisted and disobeyed.”
