The MASSOB calls on its members not to be discouraged by Buratai statement.
The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has cautioned the chief of army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, to stop to stop making inflammatory statements about the Biafra struggle.
MASSOB gave the caution in reaction to statement credited to the army chief that the agitation of Biafra was a waste of time and that Biafra will never be actualised.
The Delta south zone of the group in a statement by the coordinator of Delta South MASSOB, Joseph Odikpo, criticized the army chief, insisting that their demand has come to stay, The Sun reports.
Odikpo said: “The army boss should be told that the struggle has indeed gained popular response both in Africa and outside the continent; infact, nobody can stop it.
“We want to say that the Delta South zone of MASSOB and the Biafra Independence Movement (BIM) are solidly behind the national body, under the leadership of Dr. Ralph Uwazuruike and the Director of Religious Affairs, Pastor Francis Chigbo.”
The MASSOB leader urged all members of the body not to be discouraged by Buratai statement, adding that the group will continue to press for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra, without violence.
In a related news, the national secretary of MASSOB, Comrade Ibem Ugwuoke Ibem has likened Buratai’s comments to what the leaders of India said before the country broke up leading to the creation of Pakistan.
Ibem said its drive for the restoration of Biafra cannot be deterred by the threat of Lt Gen Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
