Biafra: MASSOB Warns Ohanaeze Ndigbo

The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB), has warned leaders of Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to guard their utterances over the Biafra agitation or be prepared for unpleasant consequences.
In a press statement in Awka, Anambra State by MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Uchenna Madu, the secessionist group described Ohanaeze’s utterances against the Biafra agitation as selfish and irresponsible.
The Ohanaeze Chairman in Anambra State, Dr Chris Eluemunoh, had described the agitation for Biafra by some Igbo youths as  “madness”, saying that “Biafra died in 1970” when the Nigerian Civil War ended.
But MASSOB, in the statement said the Ohanaeze’s comment was vexatious and would be marched with desired punishment should it continue.
The statement reads, “the widely acceptance and consciousness of Biafra can never be thwarted or dislocated by disgruntled Igbos”.
“The Anambra State Chairman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s statement against Biafra is selfish and irresponsible. He’s an Igbo saboteur who always would sell his family because of money.
“How can a self-acclaimed Igbo leader openly and shamefully disown and condemn Biafra, the living symbol of Igbo survival?”
It added that “MASSOB still believes that Ohanaeze Ndigbo cannot disown Biafra because the national leadership is still silent on this issue, but if finally it does, the Igbo nation will also disown and expel them from Igbo land.
“MASSOB warns Ohanaeze Ndigbo to stop making open derogatory statements against Biafra or we shall banish them from Igbo land.
“MASSOB shall continue to represent the genuine interest of Ndigbo”.
