The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) yesterday reacted to the declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari of his intention to seek another term in office. The group said that the President would go down in history as the worst Nigerian President and that his resolve to seek a second term in office would mark the end of Nigeria.
Also as the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) maintained that in spite of the draconian administration of Buhari, the Nigerian government’s failure remained the group’s passport to freedom.
Speaking through its National leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, MASSOB stated that only the All Progressives Congress (APC) apologists were pleased with Buhari’s declaration which was aimed at elevating hopelessness and ethnic bigotry in Nigeria.
“We, the people of Biafra cannot be deceived by a man Biafrans know as a political burden, who harbours a perennial hatred for the people of Biafra and Christians across the country.
“Buhari believes that with his kinsmen occupying the military positions of service chiefs, he will easily crush all his internal and external oppositions. He thinks he can intimidate political foes, non APC Governors, National Assembly members, religious and opinion leaders, and wilfully subvert the will of the citizens, using INEC and terrorist Fulani herdsmen
“Buhari’s militarized civilian administration is the worst government Nigeria ever experienced. His leadership style of enforcing and imposing Islamic Hausa Fulani agenda on the rest of Nigeria is tremendously assisting and justifying our struggle for Biafra actualization. His maladministration has awakened our consciousness.”
Madu added that Buhari’s decision to run for second tenure as president Nigeria is a welcome development as “it will finally expose the fraudulent foundation of this British colonial establishment called Nigeria. It shall mark the sudden end of Nigeria as an entity. MASSOB insist that president Buhari is the last president of Nigeria.”
