Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on May 30, 2018.

May 30 has been set aside by IPOB as a day to remember
Igbos that died during the Biafran war.
Commenting on the sit-at-home order, IYM said apart from
honouring the dead and heroes of the Nigerian/Biafra civil
war, remaining indoors would also enable people of the
South East to reminisce over their journey in the country they
have found themselves.
Founder of IYM and Deputy Secretary of Igbo Leaders of
Thought, ILT, Evangelist Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, in a
statement said, “I am grateful to God that the section of the
Igbo elite who for varied reasons were afraid to identify
openly with the restructuring gale that has been blowing
across the country for over two decades (since the Abacha
days), have finally found the courage to stand up and be
counted. To God be the glory.
“Credit goes to leaders like Prof Ben Nwabueze and The
Patriots, who sustained the restructuring struggle for
decades. We must also remain grateful to the great Ide, Dr
Alex Ekwueme, who, actually, is the father of the six regional
structures.
“It does not matter that these people woke up to the truth
very late; their ceremony at Awka shows that they have
eventually become converted to the truth.

“We must thank God for that and pray that their conversion is
real. We must also help them sustain the tempo until Nigeria
is returned to the regional format that saw rapid
development in the First Republic. Returning Nigeria to the
1963 constitution remains the only way out of the impasse
the country has found itself in.
“I would like to use this opportunity to plead with our people
to remain indoors on May 30th. It’s the only way we honour
our dead and reminisce on our journey in the country we find
ourselves.
“Finally, we restate, that the only kind of restructuring that
will save Nigeria is a return to the 1963 constitution, built on
true fiscal federalism and regional autonomy.

“Any attempt by the oppressor to retain the 36 states as
federating units and also sustain the unjust 774 local
government areas while claiming that devolving some powers
and duties to the states equals to restructuring, will be
resisted. Only a return to the 1963 constitution will be
acceptable.”
