Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State has convened a “crucial meeting” with leaders of all the markets in the South-eastern state. Evarist Uba, the special adviser to Governor Soludo on trade and markets, announced this in a circular addressed to market leaders in the state on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the sit-at-home directive initially enforced by IPOB had resulted in deadly attacks and destruction of goods. In July 2023, PREMIUM TIMES reported that Mr Kanu, through his lawyer Aloy Ejimakor, directed Mr Ekpa to halt the action. Efforts by Igbo leaders, including Enugu Governor Peter Mbah, Anambra Governor Mr Soludo, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to end the practice yielded limited results.
