The Movement
for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Wednesday said
that the forthcoming sit-at-home scheduled for May 30, 2017,will help
it plan
for the Biafra referendum, and therefore, urge it members, other Biafra
agitators and friends to comply with the directive.
MASSOB also said it
imperative that the sit-at-home was observed, as it will equally be used to
honour all Biafran soldiers who died during the Nigerian Biafra war and to tell
the world that it is not joking with agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra.
In a
statement by its National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, the
group said that the sit-at-home will be used to honour late Dim Chukwuemeka
Odumegwu Ojukwu and all the Biafran soldiers who died during Nigeria- Biafran
war of 1967- 1970. “MASSOB is calling on all the pro- Biafran agitators to
support the move as this sit-at home, is part of civil disobedience, which is
in line with our programme.
Vanguard reported that, by this sit-at- home, it will help us to plan the
forthcoming conduct of referendum in Biafran land. The compliance with this
sit-at-home is not for the interest of any particular group, but for the
interest of Biafrans. MASSOB /Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and we are
urging all schools, markets, transporters and companies in Biafran land to
support.
We also call on all Biafrans in Diaspora to also observe the
sit-at-home. According to MASSOB, we are not going to march on the streets that
day because Nigerian security agents have perfected to carry out mass murder of
our members that day.
“It is important for us to make it clear that Nigerian
security agents have planned to shoot at sight anybody they see on that day, to
be on safe side, it is better we stay at home to observe our day to avoid this
blood sucking and thirsty security agents who are ready to kill without
provocation.
Our struggle these days has gone beyond displaying flags on the
streets, and we want the world to know that our relationship with IPOB is
cordial because this is part of the agreement reached in Ghana conference.
IPOB
members are our brothers, likewise other genuine pro-Biafran agitating groups.
MASSOB has no faction.
We have only one leader which is Comrade Uchenna Madu.
“Chief Ralph Uwazuruike is the undisputed leader of Biafra Independent
Movement, BIM and it is on record that, he Uwazurike, told the world that his
Biafra agitating group now is BIM and not MASSOB as some people are being
misled to believe.
“There is nothing like BIM/MASSOB because there is no
APC/PDP, it is either you belong to MASSOB or BIM or belong to APC, PDP or any
other political party, it cannot be otherwise. “We also want to tell the
Nigerian security agents that no amount of threat from them can stop us from
pursuing the struggle for our freedom.”
