The President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari  visited Imo State yesterday to address the crisis that has been going on in the state, on the arrival of the President to Imo state, most of the residents refused to come out  while government officials and some leaders went to welcome him. 

However, all entreaties by the Imo State Government to the residents to come out in masse and give President Muhammadu Buhari rousing welcome, fell on deaf ears as people from the 27 local councils of the state declined the request and stayed indoors.

Most of the financial institutions, eateries, shops, markets and other commercial ventures in the state did not open for business, in compliance to the purported sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). 

Even as IPOB in a statement on Wednesday, debunked issuing any order, the majority of Imo citizens and residents chose to stay at home, to secure the lives of their citizens.
