Buhari's Imo Visit: Who Lost And Who Gained by Akpuoru: 9:45am On Sep 10, 2021 |
It is now on record that President Buhari visited Imo state albeit stories that may now fly around concerning how the people welcomed him. For those who know the president's pattern in terms of visiting states, this should be one of those rare occurrences in his administration. Perhaps what might be interesting in this visit was the call by a separatist group in the Southeastern Nigeria, commonly called IPOB for Imo residents to stay indoors on the 9th of September as a protest to the visit by Mr president. It is also worthy of note that this same group has now perfected the act of barring people within their enclave from the streets at their whim and caprices. I do believe that people can express their misgivings in whatever way they choose, however, it must be constitutional, free from intimidation and does not infringe on someone else's right. I am yet to understand how the Imo residents gained from yesterday's sit at home. Did it hurt Buhari or Hope; the state governor? Who gained and who lost. If you ask me, the regular guy who goes out every morning to struggle for his needs and who could not do so yesterday is the ultimate loser. Some people were bragging how Imolites stayed home yesterday away from Buhari's visit. Then I asked, who lost? Is it Buhari that planned to be in Imo state and indeed came and left or the person who would've gone to search for his daily bread but didn't?. The irony of it is that the areas the president would ply, would've been cordoned off anyways to limit human traffic. It therefore meant that this action was a favour done to Buhari's security details as it made their job a lot easier. The story of "abuzo" (giant termite) that was put in the fire comes to mind. While burning it exuded oil, believing it was undoing the person that put it in the fire. Cut your nose to spite your face I guess! Let's be smart 3 Likes |

Well the imo state people are actually exercising their fundamental human rights enriched in the constitution except otherwise . Meanwhile even before the president buhari visited the state yesterday , the people there have been sitting at home. We should not be surprise by what happened yesterday. |

Op it is a disgrace for a president to visit one of the states he is governing and not one person, no traditional ruler, no elders, no students, etc came out to welcome him. Buhari and the governor lost. Have you asked yourself, all those who throng out to welcome Buhari in Kano, Katsina, etc were they at their business places or do they throw their shops open and run to airport to welcome Buhari? Stop dancing naked in public, show some shame. Buhari and Hope Uzodimma lost because the people treated them as lepers. It is only a leper that people know he is comimg and they run inside their houses. Even APC cheiftains abandoned Buhari. Face the truth. I am not ipob but they made a BIG statement yesterday, that is, that Hope is NOT in charge. 2 Likes |

Akpuoru: The sit at home is a form of protest. People need to ventilate their feelings one way or the other. Unfortunately, Nigeria has become s country where the right to protest has all but been taken away from the people. It does not matter what you protest about, be it Biafra, ENDSARS, Oduduwa Republic or a better Nigeria, you will be shot and killed by the Nigerian forces Thats why IPOB started sit at home is a way to protest without allowing your self to be used as target by the security forces. So what did Imo residents gain by the sit at home? Three things: They protested without getting killed, something Nigerians can no longer do They sent a strong message to Buhari that he is not welcome The told the rest of Nigeria where their allegiance really is 1 Like |

I agree that people can protest in whatever way they choose. However being intimidated to do so or staying indoors out of fear negates all sense of free will. I would rather you present to an artisan the option of sitting at home to shame Buhari and Hope and going out to fend for himself and family. Let him therefore choose freely and not coaxed into taking the former. I feel concerned because I deal with these peasants and to them any day without a job is tantamount to a day without food. It is easier to write from the comfort of home when you've not felt the pain. |

Give them Biafra and see how they treat themselves. An average ibo man is intoxicated when given power and they rarely have mercy. |

Akpuoru: Buhari's visit benefits no one. Even if the whole of imo state had come to welcome him, Buhari is still a bag of failure and shame. The announcement of his visit to imo State still didn't stop the naira from falling. The naira fell to 540 naira a day to buahri's visit to imo State. So, his visit bears nothing positive for anybody. 1 Like |
