Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, has declared every Monday as an Economic Empowerment Day, EED, in
the South-East.
Kanu made the declaration on Saturday in a statement signed
by IPOB’s media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful.
He said the ”Economic Empowerment Day, EED, connotes a day
set aside for mass mobilisation of Biafrans to devote their resources and means
towards reversing the sharp and unprecedented decline in the economic,
educational, and social needs of the people occasioned by the prolonged
sit-at-home.”
The group urged the people to embark on the massive
deployment of their resources for the empowerment of the poverty-ridden
population of the South-East during the EED exercise.
“Following the total cancellation of any forms of
sit-at-home in the South-East, as clearly and unequivocally encapsulated in
Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s handwritten letter which was recently published by
special counsel, Barrister Alloy Ejimakor, as a follow-up to the recorded
acceptability and massive compliance with the directive, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
further directed UmuChineke, to henceforth, set aside every Monday as an EED in
the entire South-East.
“There is an urgent need to reclaim our lost glory by
embarking on empowering Biafrans with education, health services,
employment, and the resources they need to live beyond mere
subsistence as our people are known globally for hard work, resilience, and
great achievements”, the statement stated.
