The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has rejected the position of South-East leaders to the call for splitting of the country.
MASSOB was reacting to a meeting by the leaders, where they threw their weight behind a restructured Nigeria, insisting that the Igbo leaders were helping the Nigerian government to delay the imminent disintegration of the country.
MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, made this known in a statement in Enugu, yesterday.
He stressed that the leaders had always avoided the issues that had aggravated the Biafra agitation whenever they had the opportunity to sit with the Presidency.
In a statement he entitled, “MASSOB blasts Igbo religious, traditional, political and opinion leaders for their nonchalant and insensitive attitude towards the current consciousness and realities of Biafra,” MASSOB said, “Why is it that whenever these self-acclaimed Igbo leaders meet among themselves or with the Nigeria presidency, they always side-line the primary and principal reasons and cause of Biafra agitation?
“Yesterday’s meeting of Igbo leaders in Enugu is tactically helping Nigeria government in postponing the explosion of the inevitable and unstoppable ticking time bomb which Nigeria comfortably sat on.
“Their decisions are not the true minds and positions of the people of Biafra. We want Biafra and nothing but Biafra. Nigeria must disintegrate. Her faulty foundation has broken beyond repair.
“The non-violent struggle for Biafra actualisation and restoration is a reactionary revolution against the continued neglect, political injustices/imbalance of federal structures against Ndigbo by successive governments of Nigeria since 1970.
“We are in this self-determination struggle because of political, economic, academic, religious slavery which the government of Nigeria had subjected Ndigbo into in Nigeria.”
