The leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has commended residents of the South-East and parts of the South-South for complying with its sit-at-home directive marking the 59th anniversary of the declaration of Biafra.
In a statement issued on Saturday, May 30, 2026, MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu, described the compliance as a voluntary expression of patriotism and remembrance of those who died during the Nigerian Civil War.
“The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) congratulates the great people of Biafra for observing today’s sit-at-home exercise in commemoration of the 59th anniversary declaration of Biafra by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1967.
“Your voluntary sit-at-home observance directed by MASSOB demonstrates your deep respect and remembrance of the sacrifices made for the Biafran cause. Your solidarity and unity today reaffirm our collective determination to honor our history and preserve our heritage,” the statement read.
Madu reaffirmed the group’s commitment to a non-violent approach to its self-determination campaign and called for continued remembrance activities across the region.
