The Deputy Prime Minister of the United States of Biafra, Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, said that 98 percent compliance of Biafrans with the Monday sit-at-home for over three years in the South-East region showed that Biafrans have delegitimized the Nigerian government.
Dr. Orabueze, who is also the Chief of Staff to the USB, disclosed this in a statement through her official X account on Monday.
This comes as markets, businesses, and roads in parts of the South-east shut down on Monday in a voluntary civil disobedience, known as a sit-at-home, to press home the demand for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, and the recently arrested leader of the USB, Simon Ekpa.
According to Dr. Orabueze, the voluntary observance of sit-at-home every Monday in the last three years legitimises Ekpa-led USB as deputised by herself.
“The voluntary Monday sit-at-home, generally agreed on by almost 98 percent of citizens of the United States of Biafra today, February 3rd, 2025, recorded a huge success across the new state.
“The sit-at-home has persisted for almost 3 years and is seen as a referendum to delegitimize Nigeria in Biafra territory while legitimising Biafra and its citizens.
“The sit-at-home will continue until the release of their leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the release of PM Simon Ekpa, and the complete security of Biafraland.
“She also used the opportunity to inform the world of the mass killings going on in Biafraland by the Nigerian terrorist state army and agents headed by their defence chief Christopher Musa and President Bola Tinubu.”.
Further, Dr. Orabueze noted that the USB cabinet and government are working round the clock to put laws in place that would secure Biafrans.
She assured Biafrans that the sovereign state of Biafra will exercise its rights to defend its citizens.
Recall that the Finnish government arrested Simon Ekpa in November last year, while Nnamdi Kanu was rearrested by the Nigerian government in June 2021.
