The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB said it has set aside every Monday as an “economic empowerment day” in the South-East.
The pro-Biafran group said the aim was to enable the people to mobilise resources and means towards reversing the region’s sharp decline in the economic, educational and social sectors caused by the prolonged sit-at-home.
The spokesman for the group, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement on Saturday.
He explained that the move followed the total cancellation of all forms of sit-at-home in the entire South-East as stated in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s handwritten letter, which was made public through his counsel, Alloy Ejimakor, few days ago.
He further explained that the implication of this Economic Empowerment Day is that south easterners are expected to devote significant time to adhere to their routine calendar schedule template strictly and uninterruptedly with a view to making up for the humongous time lost to the activities of misguided enforcers of what he called the unsanctioned Monday sit-at-home order.
