The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that time has come for governors, especially those in the Southeast states and other “states of Biafraland” to start participating in marking May 30 as Biafra Heroes Day.
For years now it has become customary for IPOB to observe May 30 as Biafra Day and has therefore declared that the 2026 edition would be marked.
It called on the governors “to demonstrate moral courage and historical conscience by flying the Nigerian flag at half-mast on 30 May in honour of the millions who perished during the war and in the years that followed”.
