As arrangements for the burial of the late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu progress, Movement for Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has started the distribution of special uniform for all its members which will be used for the burial.
The MASSOB Director of Information, Mr. Uchenna Madu, who disclosed this in Onitsha said all members of MASSOB would appear on the special uniform for easy identification. Mr. Madu said the distribution of the uniform started yesterday at Freedom House Okwei Onuimo, Imo State.
Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu he said, was a born hero, who deserved a respectful and befitting burial. The MASSOB Information Director reminded all and sundry of the decision to observe a sit at home on the second day of the burial throughout the South-east and part of South-south zones as last honour to be accorded the late leader.
He said MASSOB leader had made it clear that the burial would be in two phases.
His words: “The first day will be at Enugu, where Nigeria will take over the burial on the first day of March while the second day would be for us at Nnewi, MASSOB and veterans.” Contributing, the MASSOB Idemili North Regional Administrator, Prince Jahway Okosi revealed that Ojukwu’s posters and condolence registers had been placed in various strategic and MASSOB locations.
“In my area in Idemili North, those who signed the condolence register were about 200 and the landlords are very cooperative.” “We will be at the burial in grand style with our mourning garment which our leader has given to us”.
