South-East Lost N4trn In 2 Years To Sit-At-Home Order – Deputy Speaker, Ben Kalu

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu has said that statistical data indicates that the southeast geopolitical zone lost N4 trillion in two years due to the sit-at-home order by the separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Kalu stated this during a meeting with Ndigboamaka Progressive Markets Association in Lagos.

He noted that the Monday sit-at-home order has ruined businesses and also suppressed the economic growth of the five eastern states and should not be allowed to continue.

The Deputy Speaker said;

“The existential threat to Igbo entrepreneurship and businesses now is the insecurity and sit-at-home problem in the south-east. The mutation of this problem is largely unfathomable. It is becoming a cankerworm that is eating deep into our collective fortune as a people.

“If I do not tell you the truths as your son, then it will be difficult for anyone in governance from Ala-Igbo to tell you. I am pained by what our dear land has become. We have to be honest and sincere with ourselves. I make a heartfelt plea to every one of you.
