Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo expressed his satisfaction with the return of heavy traffic in the commercial hub of Onitsha on a Monday. He interpreted this as a strong indication that the disruptive Monday sit-at-home protests have significantly eased.

Soludo encountered the traffic while returning from the Delta State Economic Summit held in Asaba. His observation led him to apologize for a brief 15-minute delay in his arrival, attributing it to the congestion.

I am happy to see this heavy traffic in Onitsha today. It is a sign that the Monday sit-at-home has ended.
