MASSOB TO IGBO GROUPS-'BUHARI IS PAYING YOU IN YOUR OWN COINS'

A faction of the Movement for the Actualization of the
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has challenged
various Igbo groups in the country to stop seeking
political favours from President Muhammadu Buhari,
alleging that no amount of pressure would make the
president change his perceived hatred of the Igbo
nation.
According to a statement in Awka Wednesday by the
movement’s Director of Information, Mr. Uchenna
Madu, Igbo people were described as the architect of
their political humiliation in Buhari’s administration
owing to “their individual selfishness, personal ego and
lust of money.”
The group categorically listed the Igbo groups that
have been calling for political recognition and agitating
for appointments to include Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo,
Ohaneze Youth Council, political, traditional, religious
leaders, among others, alleging that the President paid
them “back in their own coin.”
According to the statement, “President Buhari is very
right in relegating Igbo to their current political status
in Nigeria. Some Igbo political, traditional, religious,
market and youth leaders blindly bagged their egg of
political and economical future in Nigeria in a fragile,
demoralized and unsteady leader called Jonathan
Goodluck, who glaringly crashed heavily with the Igbo
political and economical eggs.
“President Buhari is just paying Ndi-Igbo back in their
own coin as they did not vote for him or his party, the
APC because the Igbo men openly and shamefully
campaigned for Goodluck Jonathan who politically
deceived them.
“As it stands, many Igbo leaders will continue to
blindly wallop in Nigeria’s political wilderness until
they rediscover the courage of Ojukwu as enshrined in
the spirit of Biafra’s consciousness and the unrelenting
and undeterred spirit of no retreat, no surrender.”
