MASSOB says N’Delta leaders are fortune seek
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has described leaders and elders of theNiger Delta region as fortune hunters for working in concert with the Northern caliphate to further pauperise the people of the region for their own selfish interest.
The MASSOB leader, Solomon Oduchukwu, who spoke to newsmen through the National Director of Information, Sunday Okereafor, in Owerri dismissed the federal government’s recent promise to clean up the Ogoni land and also reconstruct the devastated Niger Delta region as a wild goose chase.
According to the MASSOB leader, it is ridiculous and ironical for the federal government to now profess its intention to remedy the decay in the devastated oil bearing region amidst the biting recession when it abysmally failed to accomplish this when the economy was robust and buoyant.
“Is Ogoni land, the only land devastated during the civil war? Why are they waking up from their slumber bed, 46 years after the war had ended? And why have they failed to implement the “No victor, No vanquished policy” as well as the 3Rs of reconciliation, rehabilitation and reconstruction?
Oduchukwu who angrily derided leaders of the region for sabotaging their people through their recent visit to Abuja to present a 16-point agenda including the granting of oil block argued that the agitation for oil block in place of the freedom and fundamental human rights of the people is nothing but a misplacement of priority.
Dismissing the Niger Delta elders as mere paid contractors and willing tools of the Northern caliphate, Oduchukwu urged youths of the Niger Delta regime to rise up in defence of their rights and freedom from the suffocating claws of the Northern caliphate.
“The youths should rise up and defend their right because their land is being destroyed and polluted by the global oil giants in collaboration with the Federal government. Ikwerre, Ogoni and the entire Igbo land are being polluted.
Therefore, the so called elders who led the delegation to Abuja are nothing but a bundle of self-centred individuals who do not mean well for the Niger Delta region but are only interest in obtaining oil block for themselves because they see the oil in the region as their personal God given wealth.
“MASSOB is therefore telling the whole world that the leaders of South East and South-South are selfish and therefore cannot lead us.”.
