IPOB Urges South-East Governors to Declare May 30 as Public Holiday to Honor Biafran Heroes
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have called on governors in Nigeria’s South-East region to officially recognize May 30 as a public holiday to commemorate Biafra Day. This date is annually observed by pro-Biafra activists to honor those who lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War. 
In a statement reported by Daily Post Nigeria, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, urged South-East leaders to emulate their South-West counterparts, who successfully advocated for the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day in honor of MKO Abiola. 
“IPOB seizes this moment of reflection to urge the Governors in Biafra Land, especially the South East and South South Governors, to establish May 30th as a public holiday to commemorate the fallen heroes of Biafra moving forward,” Powerful stated. 
He emphasized that the request to commemorate Biafran heroes and heroines with a public holiday is a fair one, highlighting the importance of honoring those who sacrificed their lives for the Biafran cause. 
Until such recognition is granted, IPOB has designated May 30th each year as Biafra Heroes Day, to be commemorated by Biafrans both locally and internationally.
