Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has frowned at any activity that will affect the economy of Igbos or threaten their security.
MASSOB’s position isn’t unconnected to the sit-at-home order issued by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB which is aimed at pushing for the release of their leader; Nnamdi Kanu.
MASSOB in a press statement signed her National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel said they will continue to engage Ndigbo for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and urged IPOB to reach out and build more Synergy.
“Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) under the leadership of Comrade Uchenna Madu reiterated our earlier position that Ndigbo must not be subjected to unnecessary and inconsequential economic slavery in disguise for propagation of Biafra cause. MASSOB condemn weekly sit at home exercise.
“MASSOB condemned any activity that will jeopardize the security and economy of Ndigbo in Nigeria. Our people were harshly subjected to economical and political slavery in Nigeria, we can’t continue to inflict more economic pains on Ndigbo, Igbo economic interest must be considered first.
“MASSOB advice IPOB to reach out and build more synergy with strategic Igbo leaders for release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Declaration of weekly sit at home order and closing of major markets in Igbo land amounts to self economic destruction of Igbo businesses.
“MASSOB will continue to engage Ndigbo for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because he is our brother. We can never support any insensitive activities that will bastardize and relegate Biafra National day commemoration which always comes up on May 30th. Sit at home exercise is ceremonially cerebrated annually on 30th May.
“MASSOB acknowledged the eloquent efforts of some Igbo prominent leaders and organization including Ohaneze Ndigbo that exposed the dangers and economic disadvantages of closing down the economy of Ndigbo,” the statement reads.
