Biafra heroes: IPOB thanks Ndi Igbo for compliance with its sit-at-home directive

(Nigeria) The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has thanked Ndi Igbo on the 100 percent compliance with its this year sit-at-home directed observed  in honour of Biafra fallen heroes throughout Biafra land.

In a statement on Monday by IPOB's Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said: "We the global family of IPOB, ably led by our prophet and liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, are delighted to note that this year's sit-at-home directive in honour of our fallen heroes recorded 100 percent success throughout Biafra land.

”We, therefore, wish to  warmly commend  Biafrans, South East Governors, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, friends and lovers of Biafra freedom who made the exercise a huge success.

"The unprecedented success and total compliance that greeted the exercise has sent panic waves down the spine of our oppressors. Now they understand how prepared we are in our irrevocable resolve to restore Biafra Republic.

"We immensely thank the people of Akwa Ibom, Cross Rivers, Anambra, Abia, Delta, Imo, Edo, Rivers, Bayelsa, and Kogi States, as well as Igbanke, Idoma and Igede people for being part of the success story. We equally extend our appreciation to our brothers and sisters in Ambazonia for their wonderful support.

"We cannot thank enough Biafran in the Diaspora community for their unqualifiable and inestimable contributions in our struggle for independence. Biafrans in the Diaspora did us proud on Sunday, May 30 when they trooped out in their thousands to celebrate the Biafra Day in their respective host countries. We are very proud of you all.

"Above all, we are grateful to the Almighty God, Chukwu Okike Abiama for making the exercise peaceful and hitch-free. We are peace lovers and will continue to push for our freedom peacefully, even in the face of all kinds of provocation and unfounded allegations aimed st tarnishing our image and to give the international community the wrong impression that we are a violent group, which we are not.

"The huge success recorded in the sit-at-home order has further demonstrated that with unity we can actualise Biafra sooner than expected.

“We, therefore, encourage all Biafrans to remain resolute in our struggle for self determination which is our fundamental right.

"How is it a crime to remember over five million Biafrans who died in the civil war as well as in our struggle for liberation when the zoo celebrates her independence day and democracy day? Nobody born of woman has the powers to stop us from honouring our dead. Biafra Remembrance Day has come to stay.

"Very soon the stage will be set for our referendum to decide our fate. The oppressors are already jittery because they know what is coming. It is already very clear to them that they can no longer stop the birth of our new nation.

"It is now clear to all, that the zoo has collapsed beyond redemption. Very soon all the subjugated indigenous tribes in the contraption will be set free."
