The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi has called out Southeast governors.

Speaking on Thursday, he said Southeast governors should declare May 30 a public holiday to mark the Biafra War.

Amadi said there should be a Biafra Memorial Day in Nigeria.

This is coming amid the shutting down of the Southeast in compliance with the sit-at-home ordered by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

IPOB and other pro-Biafra groups had set aside May 30 each year to remember those who paid the supreme price during the Biafra civil war.

Posting on X, Amadi wrote: “By the way, why can’t Southeast Governors declare May 30 a public holiday to mark the civil war and honor the heroes who died? Nations remember such events. There should be Biafra memorial

“As Governor, I will declare the 30th of May a holiday with public lectures and commemorative events.

“If I am a Governor no group will ever stop students from writing exams because of any ideology or political activity.

“We must protect the freedom of our people and the process of economic and social development. We cannot be playing with law and order.”
