MASSOB: Uwazuruike Warns Expelled Members Not To Dupe Politicians

The founder of the
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has warned expelled members of the group to stop using its name to collect money from politicians.
Uwazuruike who spoke through MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor said he would not compromise his leadership of the group and Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), stressing that the two organisations had been repositioned to actualize the independent state of Biafra.
“They should stop using MASSOB to collect money from politicians and the Federal Government. They should stop giving a bad name to MASSOB by working for politicians. This is not the time to collect money and continue deceiving Ndigbo.
“We are freedom fighters; expelled members like Uchenna Madu and other pretenders should stop commercializing the Biafra struggle. I will never compromise my leadership or work with politicians. We have restructured and strengthened MASSOB to actualize Biafra.
“This is why we have now made it compulsory that before you belong to BIM, you must have served in MASSOB for at least five years so that you will be able to understand our non-violent struggle. We have our structures in all the states of the former Eastern region, Biafra elders-in-council, Biafra zonal leaders, Biafran regional administrators and directors.
“We don’t negotiate; it is either Biafra or nothing. Anybody who collects money from politicians or the federal government is on his own. They should stop deceiving Ndigbo. Biafra is the answer.”
The Biafran leader urged the federal government to respect the order of the court and unconditionally release the detained Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, adding that MASSOB would continue to agitate for an independent state of Biafra through its non-violent protest.
“Federal Government should respect the court order and release Nnamdi Kanu. As for MASSOB, we will continue to protest for an independent state of Biafra through non-violent struggle,” he said.
