The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has said that nobody can stop the actualisation of the Independent state of Biafra. The Leadership of Massob were reacting to the statement credited to President Mohammed Buhari urging Igbo youths to forget about Biafra in Daura earlier in the week.
Reacting to the president’s comment, the MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, argued that there was no point singling out Ndigbo out of the corps members that paid him the Sallah visit.
In a statement, yesterday, Comrade Madu said “Telling the Igbo youth corps members to inform their fellow Igbo youths in MASSOB to stop Biafran agitation, shows that he (Buhari) directly recognizes the corps members as Biafrans”.
According to the MASSOB leader, “Buhari still erroneously think that with his kinsmen in vital positions in the military, he will easily crush Biafra. MASSOB views Buhari’s constant negative comments on Biafra as a way of reawakening consciousness among Biafrans, even as he is jittery and unsteady about our doggedness towards actualising our lofty dream.
“We want President Buhari to continue to make similar statements that aptly express his frustration. No man can crush Biafra because God, history and humanity are on our side”.
The Massob leader also reminded President Buhari that the arrest and detention of Nnamdi Kanu, Lotachukwu Okoli and a host of others, as well as the killing, persecution, prosecution, mesmerization, suppression and oppression of Biafrans, cannot quench the agitation.
