South-East residents ignore sit-at-home order, storm Uzodimma’s inauguration

As APC National Chairman, Oshiomole, others arrive venue

Residents of the South-East region, have ignored Monday’s sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as they were seen trooping into Imo state to participate in the second term inauguration of the Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma.

On Monday, the inauguration ceremony is ongoing at the Dan Anyiam stadium in Owerri.

It was gathered that usually it’s always empty and scanty on Monday’s because of the IPOB sit-at-home order, on the highways, especially the road leading to Imo state from Owerri- Mbaise, Owerri- Onitsha, Owerri- Aba and Owerri – Okigwe roads.

However, for Uzodimma’s inauguration, there was an increase in vehicular movements on the express roads linking other states of the South-East region, as residents across the areas were seen arriving the state to take part in the second term inauguration of the Imo state governor.

Participants from Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Abia were not left out.

Also, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, and former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, are already in town.

It is expected that President Bola Tinubu, Governors and members of the National Assembly will likewise be in Owerri to grace the occasion.
