Sit-at-Home In South-east: FG Told To Share N50k palliatives every Monday

VAM News Update

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has suggested to the Federal and South-Eastern state governments a solution to end the sit-at-home menace crippling the economy of the region.

Recalls that the factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, has been declaring a series of sit-at-home in the South-East zone in protest of the continued detention of the leader of the proscribed group, Nnamdi Kanu.

Senator Sani has suggested that since the sit-at-home is usually observed on Mondays, the government should start sharing N50,000 palliatives to South-East residents in market places every Monday in order to make them come out.

In a tweet on Sunday, the former lawmaker wrote, “Share 50k palliatives in the market every Monday to end sit-at-home.”

His suggestion was trailed by knocks and kudos.
