The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has kicked against the position of South East Governors and Igbo apex socio-political group, Ohaneze Ndigbo of a restructured united Nigeria.
According to MASSOB the political leaders whom the people of the South East do not have trust in, cannot take any major political decision for the over 5 million ndigbo in Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement the group issued in Abakaliki, through its Director of Information of MASSOB, Comrade Edeson Samuel who maintained that there was no going back on the Biafra agitation.
The statement read in part: “MASSOB reject totally the decision taken by South east governors and the leadership of ohaneze Ndigbo in their meeting last week, which they said that they will remain in Nigeria. It is shameful, disgraceful, abomination and act of sabotage for them governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo to take such dangerous decision for over 50million Ndigbo and Biafrans without their consent.
“These so-called leaders want to mortgage the destinies and future of these young generations because of their interest and greed. These South east governors and the ohaneze leadership want to play good boy in the hand of their political masters who use them as tools against the wish and desire of Ndigbo and Biafran.
“Our so called leaders have never called meeting of various group where every group will contribute ideas in respect of the quit notice served Ndigbo by Arewa youths. Our brothers from South west, the Afenifere and other groups like OPC in south west are busy organizing themselves, the ACF and their youth wing have been holding secret meetings, but our so called leaders are busy making much noise in the Media.
“These governors and the acclaimed Igbo leaders who prefer Nigeria cannot send their families to Kano, Maidugri, Zamfara, Sokoto and Bornu state. Time has come when Massob and other genuine pro Biafra agitators will no longer allow these self centered greedy politicians to step their foot in Igbo land. Our non-violence should not be taken for granted.
“Massob will no longer accommodate these Abuja politicians that have no political values in Igbo land. Massob will not accept restructuring or 2014 National conference. Is Biafra or nothing. The governors and ohaneze leadership cannot decide for us.”
