“Before I offer the opening prayer, let me first of all state the position of the clergy on the sit-at- home declaration by IPOB and MASSOB."
“We are not in support of the call. We advise all to ignore it and go about their legitimate businesses,” he said.
Chukwuma, whose clarification was applauded by the crowd, urged traders and workers to open their shops and ignore the call.
He said the people of South-east would fair well and enjoy more and better dividends of democracy in a united Nigeria.
