Charles Onyekwere, Abakaliki

The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) on Monday accused President Muhammadu Buhari of securing his second term in the just concluded presidential election in the country through dubious and corruptible means.

The group made this known in a press statement signed by the National Director of Information of MASSOB, Comrade Samuel Edeson and made available to DailyTimes, via e-mail.

The leadership of the group also condemned the incessant killings of citizens, especially in Christian communities in parts of the country, alleging that soldiers who masquerading as Fulani herdsmen were the mastermind.

“It is very unfortunate that these ethnic cleansing commenced immediately after the presidential election which INEC was subjected to announce Mohammadu Buhari as winner.

“MASSOB reminds the citizens that prior to the presidential election, mostly within the campaign periods, the terrorist activities of Fulani herdsmen suddenly reduced because Buhari and his Fulani cabals controlling the federal government doesn’t want to refresh the damaging effects of the activities of Fulani herdsmen in the consciousness of the people because of their votes.

“It is very disheartening that overwhelming evidences abounds on the incessant, systematic and well -coordinated attacks, killings and ethnic cleansing of Christian dominated villages of Kaduna, Taraba, Benue, Plateau and Ebonyi states recently, after the presidential election that was executed by Fulani herdsmen.

“The security agents in their bid to deceive the international communities will label the attackers as gunmen instead of the real culprits.

“Having clinched power through dubious and corruptible means, MASSOB reminds the people of Biafra to be more vigilant and conscious of their residential environment because President Buhari led federal government and his Fulani/APC cabals will unleash many dangerous and systematic mayhem Nigerians.

“MASSOB also congratulate the people of Biafra for harkening unto our directives in supporting and voting for the candidates we presented to pilot the political space of Biafra land.

“We congratulate Governors David Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Ifeanyi Okowa, Emmanuel Udom, Nyesom Wike, Ben Ayade and Emeka Ihedioha of Ebonyi, Abia, Enugu, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Cross River and Imo states and Senators Orji Uzor Kalu, Ifeanyi Uba, Enyinnaya Abaribe, Theodore Orji, Ike Ekweremadu and others,” the statement said.

MASSOB therefore, charged the new elected Igbo political office holders to unite in projecting and promoting the general Igbo interest in the political, economic, social, academic, religious and cultural space of Nigeria, irrespective of their political platforms.
