Detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu
Irked by the continued detention of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has declared its intention to change its form of Biafra struggle.
Leader of the pro-Biafra group, Uchenna Madu, who disclosed this in a statement he issued to journalists in Owerri, emphasised that its new approach will arouse the international community to help in their quest for Biafra realisation.
Madu’s statement reads in part: “The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) have declared that the self-determination struggle for Biafra actualization and restoration will intensify our combined push for international recognition and sympathy.
“After series of high-level meetings with pro-Biafra leaders both at home and in diaspora, the non-violence self-determination struggle for independence of Biafra State will experience more international interventions towards our independence from Nigeria State.
“We shall engage in political participation as Biafra political emancipation determines our political involvements and participation. We have the grassroots base and block political formations.
“The Nigeria State thought that their mesmerization of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will collapse our legitimate right or dampen our spirit to Biafra self-determination activism.
“On behalf of the people of Biafra, MASSOB is bold to announce and declare that the spirit of Biafranism is undieable and undeniable. God, History and Humanity are on our side, Biafra revolution is indestructible.
“MASSOB and other pro-Biafra organizations and concerned individuals and groups have demanded enough for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from his unjust and unconstitutional detention but the Nigeria State have refused to harken to both international and local voices of reasoning.
“The world should know that the Nigeria State in their own systematic denial of justice to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and delay of Biafra referendum have unknowingly produced more thousands of Mazi Nnamdi Kanus that will soon display their activities,” Madu stated. (The Sun)
