One of the pro-Biafra groups, Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF), has rejected the yesrly sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State Biafra (MASSOB), describing it can as unhelpful to the agitation for Biafra independence.
Rather than sit at home, President of the BZF, Mr. Benjamin Onwuka, in a statement on Monday, suggested that the people should come out on May 30 for a Biafra parade.
“We cannot be sitting at home since 2013 without a result. Sitting at home will not deliver independence to Biafra. India invented sit-at-home, and we must know that this is not India, it won’t work anything here.
“On May 30, Biafrans will not sit at home. They will come for a Biafra parade at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu, where I will take the salute. It will be a unique event,” he said.
Onwuka accused the Federal Government of meting injustice and foisting suffering on the people of the area. According to him: “All these years, they militarised our place with security operatives, even Customs are always seen chasing people to villages, searching booths of vehicles looking for rice.
“Where else do such things happen except southern Nigeria? The extortion and oppression by the police was also in the highest level, so they gave birth to the unknown gunmen.”
