Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has hailed the ‘eloquent and bold steps taken by South East governors aimed at restoring the peaceful and cordial relationship the citizens and residents of Obigbo shared together.’
A statement issued by the group’s National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, noted that “MASSOB sues for peace and harmonious collaboration among brothers. We can never allow our enemies to continue in their hypocritical and subtle means of sowing dangerous seed of discord among brothers.
“Obigbo has been the center of Igbo civilization and cultural exploits. There is a greater battle of survival ahead of Ndigbo and the rest of eastern region in Nigeria. Our people should know that the Arewa people are seriously busy projecting all kinds of political instabilities and launching a dangerous campaign of calumny against the choice, right and turn of Ndigbo to produce the next president.
“The Arewa leaders instigated and sponsored the violence that erupted during the #EndSARS protest to blackmail the legitimate demand for good governance and restructuring of Nigeria.
“MASSOB encourage the Southeast and South South governors and their political, traditional, opinion and religious leaders to unite as one family in defending the eastern region and demanding the rightful turn of eastern region to produce the next president of Nigeria.”
