“If Imo people should comply with this, there will be no election in Imo State and that will create chaos.

“I am, therefore, with every sense of responsibility and love appealing to the leader of this group to rescind his decision to order a sit-at-home”.

He stated that he had found it very necessary to sound the notice and warning because Igboland had had enough of bloodshed.

According to him, the Igbo people fought a civil war which took the lives of millions of their people and also incalculable losses in property.

“We do not want a situation whereby any part of Igboland will be exposed to any type of destructive violence.

“As a father, I prefer a peaceful resolution of all problems. I prefer a non-kinetic approach. It is my belief that all disputes are best resolved over a round-table dialogue.

“Bloodshed and destruction of our property cannot be a solution,” Iwuanyanwu appealed.
