MASSOB Leader, Uchenna Madu, in a statement said that year’s anniversary is unique and special as it falls on a Sunday.
He recalled that Biafra was declared on May 30, 1967, by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
Madu said the date is sacrosanct and sacred to the background and lives of the Biafra Republic, adding that the ordinances Ojukwu must be adhered to.
MASSOB directed”all the churches in Biafra land” to observe special prayers and supplication for the fallen Biafra heroes throughout the civil war.

Madu told religious and church leaders to”cease praying for the improvement of the Islamic Republic of Nigeria”.
“There will be movements and normal social activities on May 30th being Sunday due to Christian worship but there will be a sit in home exercise May 31st being Monday for the people of Biafra as a marker of solidarity and honour Biafra land.”
MASSOB further led all schools, markets, banks and the other public offices,” from Biafra property to discover the sit-at-home exercise for a sign of respect for our fatherland.”
“In spirit of brotherhood and Biafranism, MASSOB and other expert Biafra organizations have unanimously agreed and resolved to collectively observe, commemorate and celebrate together”, the announcement added.
Madu enjoined the people to get ready for”the celebration of this fantastic anniversary which will hold to remind ourselves to continue the self-determination movement for Biafra actualization and restoration”.
