As the quest for a 2023 Nigerian president of South east extraction continues to gather momentum, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), on Thursday warned South-East governors and members of the National Assembly from Igbo land against sabotaging the presidential aspirants from the region.
The pro-Biafra group also warned that anyone found shall be treated as a saboteur and a betrayer of his own brother, adding that such a saboteur must be visited with its wrath.
The group also condemned the support given to the presidential aspiration of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State by some Igbo governors, especially Dr Okezie Ikpazu of Abia State.
A statement by the group’s National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, described as very disappointing and unpatriotic that some Igbo political leaders, after getting 5the mandate of their people, used such mandate to work against the intertest of the South east geopolitical zone and Igbo agenda to clinch the president of Nigeria.
MASSOB queried “how could some of our political leaders support a man who openly denied his ‘Igboness’; a man whose pathological hatred against Ndigbo is overwhelmingly seen
“Governor Wike sponsored the killing of Igbo youths in River State, a man full of himself and arrogant without regard for anybody.
“MASSOB warned Igbo leaders to stop their selfish actions that are capable of distorting the overall interest of the South-East region because MASSOB will never tolerate such political selfishness now.”
“Our intelligence report has revealed that the Governor of Abia state is in agreement with Nyesom Wike, because of the crisis of who should control the state structures and the list of the party delegates that will be submitted to the party national secretariat in Abuja for the incoming primaries.
“We can never forgive any Igbo leader that betrays our collective interest in 2023, irrespective of his position, we shall mark them
