Again, MASSOB faults South-East govs for rejecting Biafra
THE Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has criticised South-East governors for turning their backs on Biafra and supporting Igbo presidency ahead of the 2023 general elections.
MASSOB, who said the position of the governors was in the minority, added that majority of Igbo people were pursuing the actualisation of a sovereign state of Biafra.
Speaking in an interview with The PUNCH, the Director of Information, MASSOB, Sunday Okereafor, said the quest of the Igbo elite for an Igbo person to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was a mirage as “the northerners will never allow an Igbo man become president of Nigeria.”
He said, “There is no way an Igbo man will ever rule Nigeria. Imagine the South-East governors are saying that they want Igbo presidency and the masses are being killed; in Obigbo, you saw how many were killed, they killed MASSOB in thousands.”
Okereafor urged the Igbo elite nursing the ambition of becoming Nigeria’s president to relocate to other parts of the country as majority of Igbo would not support them. Punch
