Ejimakor made the assertion in a publish on X on Monday, the place he described the weekly Monday sit-at-home as proof of widespread dissatisfaction amongst Igbo individuals over Kanu’s conviction.

He stated: “This reality is self-evident: The Monday SIT AT HOME in Southeast is one of the best proof of how sad Ndigbo are over the travails of MAZI NNAMDI KANU & it would persist till he’s freed. And this: The #SitAtHome has reached some extent the place no Executive Order can end it; however it would end immediately by itself as soon as #MNK is freed.

Ejimakor added that the protest would persist till Kanu regains his freedom, including that authorities directives alone can’t halt the motion.
