The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have insisted and vowed that May 30th Biafra day anniversary celebration must hold irrespective of the threats by Nigeria Security agents.
MASSOB leader Uchenna Madu in a statement said, “In comemoration of 57 years anniversary of Biafra declaration by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, there will be a sit at home exercise in Biafra land.
All schools, banks, markets, public offices, motor/keke parks, air/seaports and other corporate bodies shall stay at home as a mark of respect and patriotism to Biafra land.
“We know that the overzealousness, partiality and brutality of Nigeria security agents will be displayed in couple of days in Biafra land towards May 30th.
“No amount of their intimidating patrols and show of force will ever deter MASSOB and other pro Biafra groups from honouring our past heroes and friends of Biafra on May 2024.
“MASSOB also wishes to assure the people of Biafra that there will be no public processions, rally or forceful enforcement on the citizens to adhere or obey our directives involuntarily.
“MASSOB is appealing to Ndigbo to continue in their indomitable spirit of the movement for the restoration of Biafra as the political indepence of Biafra is the only hope for an Igbo man in Nigeria.
“As we march into 30th May 2024, we advice all Biafrans and Ndigbo to join on the celebration, in remembering the day which His excellence Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu made a historic declaration of Biafra.
“Every household shall light up a candle in their homes in the spirit of Biafranism. Stay in your house and pray while you light your candle. On 30th May.
“As we preach non violence, we shall maintain the principal of non violence in all of our approach towards Biafra actualization and restoration.
“As May 30th anniversary celebration is sacrosanct, MASSOB acknowledged the conscious awareness and synergies among the pro Biafra groups and other organizations in Biafra land towards the preparations and enthusiastic spirit in readiness for the celebration of Biafra declaration anniversary.”
