The Ralph Uwazurike-led faction of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has called on Igbo politicians to reject any appointment that might be offered them under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
According to TheNation newspaper, Rivers South zonal leader, Sunday Kalu-Amuzie, spoke after a thanksgiving service to mark the movement’s 16th year anniversary.
Amuzie said opportunities abound in the Biafran nation for any position or portfolios they might want, urging them to come back home and occupy them with ease.
“We are confident that our desire on Biafra has been realised and this informed today’s celebration.
“We are convinced that God supports our agitation and is guiding our step towards its realisation soon. This is why we call on our people to come home, because what they seek in Abuja is at home.”
“The Ndigbos who are lobbying for appointments into Buhari’s cabinet should stop forthwith, as there is no need for that. The Biafran nation is already in our hands; they should reject any appointment that might be given to them and come home to help build Biafra,” he said.
Amuzie noted that God had perfected the birth of the new nation, which comprised the 11 states of the former eastern region.
Officiating minister Pastor David Achi said God told him Biafra was in his programme and that conviction informed his interactions with the group.
“The crowd that defiled the rains for this programme today is evidence that God supports MASSOB. The people are convinced of this; if I am not convinced of what I heard from God, I would not have identified with them.
“It took me several years, even after God spoke, to make up my mind to join because I didn’t want to make mistakes,” Achi said.
