Follwing protests by the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB and the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, the Campaign for Democracy CD has lambasted Igbo indigenes who are against the peaceful protests.
CD South East Chairman, Dede Uzor A. Uzor insited that the right to peaceful protest was enshrined in the constitution.
He said his group will only be against the demonstrations if they become violent.
CD, however, called on the people of South East who are sympathetic to the demands of the two groups to boycott all the products from the stable of vocal Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka, who described the protesting youths as evil, because “an evil person is not expected to use the product of a saint like Fr Mbaka”.
CD further urged the Catholic authority to call Fr Mbaka, “who cannot count as the one of the first 1000 best priests in Nigeria”, to order.
The group said Mbaka was a disgrace and may end up being an embarrassment to the respected Catholic community if he kept talking without control.
Continuing CD said, “We are calling on Igbo Christians to also boycott Rev Mbaka’s Ministry, he is a disappointment to Igbo race.
“He has not for one day criticized or condemned the brutal killing and open murder of Igbo people in the North by the Boko haram insurgents, or ever criticized their activities which are more dangerous and life wasting than what MASSOB and IPOB are doing.
“We are not surprised because he loves money and they have bribed him with their recent visit to Enugu after which he started talking against his own people.”
CD wondered why those critizing the protests failed to speak against the killing of over 2000 members of MASSOB and IPOB youths between September 13, 1999 to date by security agents, as well as over 900 Igbos murdered by the Boko haram insurgents.
