The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has said that there would be no sit-at-home on Sunday, May 30 because of Biafra remembrance to enable people attend church services. Instead, the day has been dedicated for prayers for the self-determination struggle of the people.
Leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, Thursday, restated that this year’s anniversary celebration will be unique, while clarifying the group’s programme of activities for the 2021 Biafra Remembrance Day.
Being predominantly Christians, Madu explained that the traditional sit-at-home would then be observed the following day being Monday.
