Ralph Uwazuruike-MASSOB Leader_BiafraDespite President Buhari insisting Nigeria as a country is indivisible, MASSOB (The Movement of Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra) leader Ralph Uwazuruike insisted yesterday he will be alive to see the realisation of Biafra, derided ‘Igbo elite’ and talked about Yoruba and Hausa-based political groups.

Here’s the report from Vanguard,

“The MASSOB leader, who spoke through the Deputy National Director for Information, Mazi Chris Mocha, weekend, at a special meeting of Enugu West Senatorial District, in Nachi, Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, lamented that since Nigeria got her independence in 1960, it had never guaranteed security of lives and properties of Ndigbo, a situation, which he claimed, persuaded him to seek independence of Biafra.

He frowned that some Igbo elite had become stooges to our oppressors, who often used them to do odd jobs and also sponsor them  to make blatant comments to discredit Biafra in order to win contracts from their masters in Abuja.

He regretted that such elite, because of the peanuts they were getting from the oppressors, would accept to sabotage the Biafra struggle without knowing how much MASSOB had laboured in the past 16 years, insisting that their plans were bound to fail.

According to Uwazuruike, “ACF had asked Allah to give them Boko Haram, he gave to them and they became comfortable with its outcome. Afenifere elders had Oodua People’s Congress, OPC, fighting for social justice in Yoruba land.

“I am very happy that Biafra is being talked about all over the world and people are being killed and detained for the sake of Biafra. So, if I fail to get Biafra, then I would have failed to do whatNdigbo expected of me and if I also die for the sake of Biafra, I will be fulfilled.”
