The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, on Friday alleged that President Muhammadu Buhari has “pathological hatred” for people of the South East.
MAASOB made the allegation while condemning the exchange of words between the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha and his counterpart in Anambra State, Willie Obiano.
Trouble started between both governors when Okorocha claimed that three governors from the South East will soon defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Irked by the statement, Obaino said his Imo State counterpart lacked the needed leadership qualities, stressing that Okorocha was a militant, motor park governor.
Reacting the statements of both governors, the leader of the pro-Biafra group, Uchenna Madu described the exchange of words as “complete stupidity and foolishness.”
Madu claimed that Okorocha’s declaration was a calculated attempt to “heat up the Anambra political arena” ahead of the 2017 governorship election in Anambra state.
He also alleged that APC as a political party had no provision to accommodate the interest of people of the South East.
In the statement sent to DAILY POST, Madu said, “MASSOB wish to remind His Excellencies that this public bragging and exchange of dirty words is a slap and insult to Ndigbo and homelessness to these Governors.
“With the current political reorganization going on in Igbo land for our future survival, how these Governors allow themselves to be used against Igbo interest.
“For one to be a governor is not a criteria to insult Igbo traditional respect or the Ancestors, MASSOB holds Okorocha responsible for openly declaring that three Igbo governors will soon join APC, if he is sure of himself, why shouldn’t he mention their names and evidences of such meeting or plan, Igbo politicians should stop making provocative and unguided statements just to pacify their political allies and masters.
“MASSOB warned that washing one’s dirty clothes in the public is not the best option and political party interest can never be quantified with the general interest of Ndigbo.
“Today, our political detractors are happy celebrating this political madness that is capable of disorganizing our people, this is a political ploy by APC to heat up the Anambra political arena in readiness for 2017 governorship election in Anambra state.
“APC as a political party in their manifesto have no room for accommodation of Igbo interest even president Buhari as helmsman of APC have pathological hatred against Ndigbo, so Gov Okorocha should wait till 2019 when the mainstream of Igbo populace will determine with our massive votes which political party Ndigbo will identify with.
“MASSOB recognized that the main vision and mission of APGA have been affected because of clueless leadership of the current chairman, Ndigbo still have sympathy for APGA because of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu (Eze Igbo Gburugburu).
“MASSOB advised the two governors to stop embarrassing our Ancestors or we invoke the bitter wrath of our ancient Oracles against them.”
