Movement for the Actualisation of
the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has said despite the attacks targeted
at their members and the activities of some splinter groups, there is still no
going back on its struggle for an independent Biafran State.
MASSOB Zonal Director of
Information, Anambra North, Charles Igbokwe, in a statement made available to
Daily Sun yesterday in Onitsha, reminded saboteurs that no country, ethnic
nationality, state, family or individual which sabotaged Biafra from 1967 to
date that had not drawn divine wrath and punishment to their land or “Let us
not be enemy of freedom. Biafra has come to stay.
Some people have started
modern day sabotage by forming different groups, some have not lasted up to one
year but yet they claim that they will give us Biafra today or now. All these
groups are false icons to discourage and make mockery of family. Biafra. This
is the worst sabotage,” it stated. Igbokwe stated that contrary to
misconceptions about the MAS- SOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, he was a man
with three secrets which included his struggle to deliver Nigerians from
bondage, to help politicians fulfill, exercise and achieve the supreme mandate
of coordination and to obtain for the Biafrans, the full power to rule
themselves.
He said the syndrome of ‘One Nigeria’ had tied the country from
1914 to 2014, noting that Nigeria was formerly three kingdoms, which according
to him, were three countries but joined together un- conditionally, which now
haboured a country of dis- like, hatred, malice and selfishness. According to
him, the leader of MASSOB, Uwazurike, was clamouring for the independence of
the three kingdoms so that they could go their separate ways and exercise their
respective leadership style to enhance economic growth and people empowerment.
