The Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra has condemned its leader, Mr. Ralph Nwazuruike, for his alleged involvement in President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election campaign.
Jonathan is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party. The group stated that it had yet to adopt the group’s choice presidential candidate.
MASSOB, in a statement sent to SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday by its National Director of Information, Mr. Uchenna Madu, after its national officers’ meeting, advised Jonathan and his loyalists not to take Uwazuruike seriously “because he has never delivered any candidate.”
The statement read, “How can Uwazuruike, who claims he is leading a total revolutionary struggle for Biafra actualisation, will also get deeply involved in Nigeria politics, dinning and romancing with same Nigerian government that always derive joy in killing MASSOB members, throwing them in prisons, and projecting Ndi’gbo into economical, political, religious, academic and social slavery. Uwazuruike is a hypocrite.
“On the presidential election, MASSOB has never declared our preferred candidates.”
MASSOB stated that even though, as Igbo people, it had more sympathy, love and trust for Jonathan as “a fellow Christian and close neighbour of Ndi’gbo,” the group needed concrete assurance from the President concerning the general development of Igbo land.
“MASSOB shall decide our preferred presidential candidate on March 9, 2015,” the group added.
