All the schools and business houses were closed in support of the Indigenous People of Biafra, and the popular Ogbogonogo market in Asaba also observed strict adherence.

The owners of eateries and other private businesses, especially the commercial bus drivers, plying Asaba-Onitsha fully complied for fear of unknown. But, the commercial banks in Asaba metropolis ignored the protest of sit at home. While the supporters of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike led MASSOB/BIM were not support of the directive because they had celebrated Biafran Day on May 22, but that the sit-at-home declaration by IPOB was part of the line up programme of events.

Chief Joseph Odigbo and Emeka Okafor, members of the elders-in-council of BIM in Delta South and North zones said nothing would derail them from actualizing the sovereign state of Biafra.
