Buhari will let us achieve Biafra faster – MASSOB

– MASSOB insists that its desire to achieve Biafra will not be stopped by any person no matter how influential – It condemned the use of soldiers to intimidate people – The pro-Biafra group claimed President Buhari was desperate to enslave the country The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has said that President Muhammadu Buhari should continue with his style of government as it would help to achieve their desire of an independent Biafra state. Vanguard reports that the group berated Mr. Osita Okechukwu, the director general of Voice of Nigeria for saying Biafra was not feasible. Comrade Larry Odinma who is a leader of the Biafra Independent Movement which is a faction of MASSOB said Biafra has gone past a period where some influential persons can put it off.

MASSOB/BIM wishes to remind the likes of Osita Okechukwu not to be deceived by his current position where he heads the least parastatal in the information ministry and the crumb he gets from his master’s table. People like Osita Okechukwu are what the Igbo refer to as ‘efulefu’. Biafra people are tired of marginalization by the Nigeria government. Does Okechukwu reckon that Buhari’s government had killed more Biafrans than any administration in Nigeria? “Does Osita Okechukwu know that Ndigbo are endangered specie in Nigeria? It is clear that since Buhari came to power, the struggle to actualize Biafra has continued to gain widespread support from all corners of the world. Buhari’s administration is fueling Biafra; Osita Okechukwu is just pretending that he doesn’t know that Biafra is at hand. We are closer to the Promised Land; Biafra will be actualized through our non violent strategy.” The group also said it was okay with President Buhari’s use of force as it would make its Biafra agitation come to pass faster. “The way they use soldiers to infringe on people’s rights, is unacceptable to democracy, look at the way this government invaded the judges, it portrays them and them as people that are drunk with power. I am aware that the three times he wanted to be the President and the fourth time he succeeded, it showed desperation and a grand plot to enslave Nigerians. “However we in MASSOB are okay with his style because it is justifying our struggle, if these things are not happening, people will not understand why we are in the struggle, so we want Buhari to continue with his style, so that people’s consciousness will be revived towards BIAFRA.
