•Cautions those pitching Ndigbo against Yoruba
Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has said Nigeria’s current situation and violent uprising by the youth has vindicated its long held position that the nation is damaged beyond repair and needs disintegration.
Speaking through its National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, on Thursday, the pro-Biafra group noted that “the nationwide protest, destruction of public and private properties and degenerated tensions in Nigeria, including the inability of the government to control the senseless killings of innocent citizens have justified the self-determination struggle of MASSOB and other pro-Biafra agitators. The current situation in Nigeria have vindicated MASSOB before the international communities.
“The entity called Nigeria has been damaged beyond repair. The foundation that holds Nigeria is fraudulent, deceitful and hypocritical, it is going through bizarre fire now. Soon, the remaining carcasses of Nigeria will be consume by the flames of injustices, corruption and nepotism.”
Edeson also cautioned those using the opportunity created by the uprising to cause disharmony and pitch the Igbos against the Yoruba in Lagos.
According to him, “Ndigbo have never declared any aggression against the Yorubas or any other indigenous tribe in Nigeria. Ndigbo did not attack or destroy any government or private properties in Lagos. It is evidently known that armless aggrieved Nigerian youths expressing their incomfortability against Nigeria’s worst administration were massacre by Nigeria soldiers which resulted to burning of government and private properties in Lagos.
“MASSOB warned the perpetrators of the falsehood that is capable of pitching Ndigbo and Yorubas into unpleasant aggression to stop it. Southwest, Southeast, South South and Middle Belt regions have formed a greater alliance that will emancipate them from their political subjugations in Nigeria. We shall never allow the fulanis to create divisions among us again.”
The group warned the protesting Nigerian youths to exercise caution and refrain from destroying people’s properties, admonishing that “the armless youths should not give room to President Muhammadu Buhari’s military terrorists to massacre our people or cause more havoc on our people.”
