MASSOB leader Uchenna Madu described the sit-at-home order as a huge success which he attributed to divine intervention.
”The honour and pride goes to the people of Biafra. The success achieved today is not a selfish pride for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu-led IPOB or Comrade Uchenna Madu-led MASSOB or any other group, it is an honour of the people of Biafra, it is an honour of the gallant and eloquent soldiers of Biafra and civilians that bravely laid down their lives for establishment of Republic of Biafra”
”It is an honour for Biafra school children, an honour to commercial cyclists, tricycles, buses and other vehicle operators, it is an honour to the cooperate firms/establishments that complied with the sit at home exercise”.
“The huge success is an express evidence that the coming Biafra referendum shall be a walk over against Nigeria state. The success is also a direct confirmation that lights and darkness can never walk together.”
IPOB also thanked the people for complying with the directive.
IPOB said the directive for the sit at home was given by Kanu while he was in detention at Kuje prison in Abuja.
A statement by Emma Powerful, its media and publicity secretary, said saboteurs have been put to shame.
The statement said: ”We Biafrans have proven to the entire world that they need freedom and the world must know that we are not going back in the quest for independence of Biafra.”
