The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has praised people in the South-East for observing Saturday’s sit-at-home exercise to mark the 59th anniversary of the declaration of Biafra by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1967.
MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, thanked Biafrans for honouring the memory of Ojukwu and those who fought during the Biafran struggle.
Although compliance with the sit-at-home order was only partial in Enugu, Madu said the exercise showed that many people still remember the sacrifices made for the Biafran cause.
According to him, the action demonstrated unity, solidarity and a commitment to preserving Biafra’s history and heritage.
He also commended those who participated, saying their dedication would not be forgotten. Madu added that MASSOB would continue to pursue its goal of Biafran self-determination through non-violent means.
He further urged churches across the South-East to hold memorial services, prayers and thanksgiving programmes in remembrance of those who died during the Biafran struggle and to thank God for preserving the Biafran people.
