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 security agents 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.
Mocha said: “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. Infact, it
is an act of cowardice to do that, because we are a non-violent organisation
fighting to actualise a Biafra Republic.”
He alleged that policemen, soldiers and other security
operatives barricaded the road leading to Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu
Memorial Library in Owerri, Imo State with Armoured Personnel 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.”
Also, in a remark, Nnewi South Regional administrator, Mr.
Tony Nwodo noted that, “Uwazuruike had urged the United States to rescue the
Igbo nation from the Federal Government’s marginalisation and we look up to
America for our emancipation.”
We are fighting for a sovereign state of Biafra, which we
marked its 16th year anniversary few days ago, saying that “struggle would be,
forward ever and backward never.”
