God is Backing the Biafra Struggle – MASSOB

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has told President Muhammadu Buhari that the current struggle for the actualization for the sovereign state of Biafra will continue despite attempts by the government to crush the agitation.

According to Vanguard, the pro-Biafra group on Thursday, July 7, speaking on the backdrop of statements credited to Buhari that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable, argued that the president is somebody who still believed in old ways of doing things.

MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu faulted Buhari’s stance on the unity of Nigeria on the grounds that the president’s view showed that he has not realized that a new trend of resolving such issues had taken over. Madu said: “The President, in inner sense of reasoning, believes that he will easily crush Biafra, maybe with his intimidating tendencies over Igbo governors, National Assembly members, religious/ opinion/ political leaders. MASSOB views the President’s constant negative comments on Biafra consciousness as a sign of jittery.

As every revolutionary struggle has its own methodology, the current Biafran struggle for actualization and restoration will continue to unfold confusing methods to the President. The involvement of Niger Delta Avengers and other Niger Delta freedom fighters in the Biafra struggle will continue to hunt those opposed to the actualization of Biafra”. Madu boasted that no man can crush Biafra because God, history and humanity were on the side of the agitators. In a related development, Members if the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have decried the constant harassment and arrest of innocent people in the guise of being IPOB members. Emma Powerful, the IPOB Media and Publicity Officer of the group alleged that security agents have been intimidating and arresting innocent members of the public.
