The Deputy Prime Minister of the United States of Biafra (USB), Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, has stated that the overwhelming compliance with the Monday sit-at-home protests in the South-East over the past three years demonstrates that Biafrans no longer recognize the authority of the Nigerian government.
Dr. Orabueze, who also serves as the Chief of Staff to the USB, made this known in a statement via her official X account on Monday.
Her remarks came as businesses, markets, and roads across parts of the South-East remained shut in adherence to the sit-at-home protest—a form of civil disobedience aimed at securing the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and Simon Ekpa, the recently arrested leader of the USB.
According to Dr. Orabueze, the sustained observance of the protest every Monday for the past three years underscores the legitimacy of the Ekpa-led USB.
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 what she described Nigerian terrorist state army and agents.
Dr. Orabueze also 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.
