?MASSOB has always align and worked with Ohaneze Ndigbo with utmost respect to her leadership and members of Imeobi.

?MASSOB will continue in our loyalty to Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership.

?The emergence of Chief John Azuta Mbata as the new President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo has justified the under carpet truth about the founding fathers of Ohaneze Ndigbo in 1976 when it was formed as Igbo Union before changing to Ohaneze Ndigbo in 1979,? the group said .

MASSOB listed some of the founding fathers Ohaneze Ndigbo from Rivers state as Dr Obi Wali, Senator Francis Ella, Eze Nwonodi, Eze Nwoluchem, Chief Aguma and Chief Nwuche, with Dr Akanu Ibiam as the first President of the group.

?For decades, there are systematic sponsored falsehood to deny and scrapped out the Igboism of Ndigbo in Rivers state but the emergence of Chief Senator John Azuta Mbata, an Ikwerre man as the newly elected president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo has proofed the Igbo critics wrong.

?MASSOB wishes to remind His Excellency that your leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide is very unique and special because your emergence as the Ohaneze Ndigbo President General has exposed the aged long hypocritical, falsehood and camouflaged make-believe that Ikwerre people are not Igbos.

?Your administration as president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo will forever silence the merchants of destruction and division of Igbo land.Ndigbo are solidly behind your leadership.

?MASSOB will continue in partnering with your leadership for the interest of our people irrespective of our locations,? the group wrote. (The Nation)
