MASSOB has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to let Biafrans go as the ongoing python dance will not stop the struggle.
It also stated that they were not calling for disintegration of
Nigeria but the freedom of Igbos. This was contained in a statement in
Enugu, yesterday issued by MASSOB’s National Director of Publicity,
Samuel Edeson.
According to the release, “MASSOB is not saying that Nigeria should disintegrate.
“What we are demanding is freedom of Biafrans. Any Igbo man or
woman who wishes to remains in Nigeria is free and if any Nigeria feels
to live in Biafra, he will be accepted.
“If President Mohammad Buhari is supporting the states of Palestinian and Saharawi, why is he against Biafra freedom?
“MASSOB wishes to make it clear that no amount of threats by
Nigerian army, police and other security agents can ever stop us from
pursuing our freedom.
“What we are doing is legal, constitutional and justifiable and
nobody can ban us because self determination is guaranteed by United
Nations and the African Union charter, which Nigeria is signatory to
both organisations,” Edeson said.
The Pro-Biafra group alleged that it was for fear of international
prosecution that the Nigerian government was considering pulling out of
90 international organizations it belonged to.
“Nigerian government is afraid of prosecution by all these
organizations. The genocide and war crime cases are at the door of
Nigeria government. The Chief of Army Staff and the GOC 82 Division must
face ICC.
“Python should go ahead and dance, after dancing we shall see
the end of Python. Biafra agitators cannot be banned. Nigeria, let
Biafra go and you will have peace,” he stated.
Sharing is caring!
