Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah warned traders: “If you obey Sit-At-Home, I Will Revoke Your License. We have provided enough security to ensure your safety.”
Mbah added that “It should never be heard that we were cowed because of the threat of violence by these criminals. The poverty that will befall us for sitting at home will kill us even faster. We are losing over N10 billion every Monday that we sit at home. Enough is enough. This foolishness must end and it must end now. We cannot be marginalising ourselves and still complain of marginalisation.”
“So, we must say no to sit-at-home because what it means is that we are destroying our employment, our economy, and our GDP.” Mbah toured various parts of the State capital on Monday, July 17, to monitor the level of compliance with his ban on the alleged factional IPOB order, stated that the sit-at-home order has restricted creativity, entrepreneurship, and productivity in the state.
