Onitsha Market: Sit-at-Home Excuse Is Delusional — Soludo Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, has dismissed claims by some traders at the Onitsha Main Market that insecurity prevents them from opening their shops on Mondays, describing the excuse as “delusional.” Soludo stressed that the sit-at-home order ended in Anambra in 2023 and insisted that the continued closure of shops on Mondays amounts to economic sabotage. He argued that traders who freely visit stadiums, exercise on the roads, or engage in street trading on Mondays have no justification for keeping their shops shut. According to the governor, Onitsha Main Market is one of the most secured areas in the state, with over 150 security personnel deployed. He questioned why markets in areas facing greater security challenges remain open, while traders in Onitsha still cite insecurity as a reason for closure. “Anyone claiming they didn’t open their shop because of insecurity is simply delusional,” Soludo said, adding that such behavior harms the state’s economy and must stop. #Anambra #OnitshaMarket #Soludo #SitAtHome
