Bring Simon Ekpa back to Nigeria to sit at home with us – Uzodinma tells FG and military

During a familiarisation visit by the new General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Enugu, Major General Hassan Dada, to the Government House in Owerri, Imo State, Governor Hope Uzodinma addressed the pressing issue of restoring peace in the South-East region of Nigeria. One of the prominent concerns he raised was the popular sit-at-home order that has been affecting the region’s socio-economic activities.

Governor Uzodinma specifically mentioned a separatist named Simon Ekpa, who is currently based in Finland. He expressed the need for the federal government to take action in handling this matter and called upon the security agencies, particularly the military, to collaborate with the government in addressing the situation.

Governor Uzodinma emphasized the importance of bringing Simon Ekpa back to Nigeria, urging him to join the people in observing the sit-at-home order or face the consequences of the law. The sit-at-home order has been a contentious issue, impacting businesses, daily life, and overall stability in the region. By addressing the situation of Simon Ekpa, the governor aims to ensure that peace is restored and normalcy returns to the South-East.

It is evident that the governor is deeply concerned about the well-being and security of the people in his state and the wider region. By seeking the collaboration of federal authorities and the military, he aims to find a resolution to the sit-at-home order and its impact on the people’s lives.

Governor Uzodinma’s call for action reflects the urgency of the situation and the government’s commitment to addressing challenges in the region. He hopes that by addressing the issue of Simon Ekpa and the sit-at-home order, a path to reconciliation and stability can be established, fostering a peaceful and prosperous environment for the people of Imo State and the entire South-East region.
