“I’m impressed” – Soludo reacts to traders’ compliance to end Monday sit-at-home
The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, has reacted to the partial compliance by traders at the popular Onitsha Main Market with the reopening of the market on Monday.
In a statement issued on X, on Tuesday, the governor said he was impressed by the clinical compliance with the directives of the Anambra State government on ending the adherence to the Monday sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
His words, “I am impressed by the clinical compliance to our directives by Traders of the Onitsha Main Market. In the last five years, Onitsha main market has remained shut on Mondays.
“Yesterday, by the sheer will of our people, the jinx was broken! The market bustled like never before and the joy exuded by the traders was palpable.
“Indeed, history has been made today and the self-defeating Monday sit-at-home has been trashed into the dustbin of our regrettable history.
“Chukwu na eme ife na’adighi ekwe omume. May Anambra continue to win!” Soludo wrote.
Recall that the governor had announced a shutdown of the Onitsha Main Market following the continued adherence to the Monday sit-at-home order by the traders.
The market which was sealed up between Tuesday and Saturday was later reopened by Monday by Soludo who urged the traders to ensure an end to the sit-at-home.
