The group said it cannot take the former president
serious
The Movement for the Actualisation of s Sovereign
State Of Biafra (MASSOB) has lashed out former
president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo after he rooted
for an Igbo presidency for 2019.
Obasanjo revealed this on Tuesday, January 24,
while hosting the leadership of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ogun state chapter, at
his Abeokuta Hilltop residence.
He said: “Irrespective of the thinking of the people
ahead of 2019, I personally think that South-East
should have a go at the Presidency too.
Vanguard however reports that MASSOB said they
will not take the former president serious as he
might just want to use the Igbos for his own gain.
The group said: “Nobody should rejoice over the
statement by Obasanjo because he will never do or
say anything good about Igbo. For him to solicit for
Igbo president is not in the interest of Ndigbo.
“It could also be that he is afraid of the emergence
of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the next..
