The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), under the leadership of Mr. Uchenna Madu, has alleged that Igbos in Nigeria are in bondage and needed their freedom.
The group cautioned governors from South East Nigeria against any step that would undermine the struggle for the actualization of a sovereign state of Biafra.
The group gave the warning after its meeting in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital, with some of its national officers.
Ebonyi State Coordinator of MASSOB, Ikenna Kalu, who read out a communiqué signed by himself and all local government coordinators of the group, said any governor in the South East who was not supporting Biafra agitation was an enemy of the Igbo.
The communiqué partly read, “We are determined to actualize Biafra through non-violence since we don’t have guns or any weapon. We insist on absolute freedom of Biafra because not even Igbo presidency or restructuring will stop us from agitating for Biafra because that is where we come from.
“We are warning Igbo governors to be careful and avoid any step that is against Biafra. They should be careful of any step that is against Biafra freedom. Igbo are suffering, we are in bondage. So, anybody that is not with us is against us. South East Governors should be careful with any step that is against Biafra freedom.
“No amount of Uwazuruike’s BIM will stop us or even their cheap black mail that will stop us from actualizing Biafra. Our meeting with Ohanaeze Ndigbo was not for any political interest but for the overall interest of the Igbo.”
On the planned arrest of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, by the federal government, the group vowed that it will resist it with its last blood.
“We will fight, we will resist with even our last blood if they attempt to arrest Nnamdi Kanu again. We want to remind Nigerians that they are sitting on a time bomb”, it said.
