Members of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra,
(MASSOB) in Onitsha, Anambra State have said that the clampdown on its
members by President Muhammadu Buhari would not silence the movement until the
Biafra state is actualised.
MASSOB Deputy Director of Information, Mazi Chris
Mocha, stated this yesterday in Onitsha while speaking with journalists. His
words, “Buhari cannot stop us from actualisation of a sovereign state of Biafra
even if he sends the entire security operatives in the country to the South
East and South South geo-political zones.”
He described the action of the Federal Government
as an, “act of cowardice because we are a non-violent organisation fighting to
actualise a Biafra Republic.”
Mocha said that policemen, soldiers and other
security operatives barricaded the road leading to Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu
Ojukwu Memorial Library in Owerri, Imo State with Armoured Personel Carrier
(APC) in a bid to stop MASSOB activities.
“Those who wanted to pass to and from the area
were thoroughly searched while our members who were coming to attend a meeting
were prevented from entering the library venue,” he disclosed.
“Our leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, who wanted to
preside over the executive meeting had to put it off, citing security reason
and to avoid casualty on the side of MASSOB.”
He insisted that Buhari cannot stop them from
existing, stressing,” if OBJ as president, who hated Ndigbo and what we stood
for could not stop MASSOB for eight years, is it Buhari that will stop us.”
