Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu has compromised, he now wants restructuring – MASSOB

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of
Biafra, MASSOB, has accused leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, of compromising the struggle
for actualization of Biafra.

MASSOB, however, vowed to continue with the struggle to
secede from Nigeria despite alleged retreat by Nnamdi Kanu.

National Director of Information, Sunday Okereafor, told Ericgossip that MASSOB would not be deterred by IPOB’s action.

Okereafor stated, “IPOB has compromised the struggle; the
IPOB leader (Nnamdi Kanu) has had a handshake with the
Federal Government. He has embraced restructuring.

“What are we going to restructure in Nigeria? We are saying 
no to that.

“He (Kanu) has told the world that he has compromised 
and he has deceived millions of people.

“But we are insisting that it is Biafra or nothing. We are
storming Onitsha on September 13 to celebrate our 18 th
anniversary.

“The IPOB leader is saying that after restructuring of Nigeria, he will abandon the struggle. He has a hidden agenda.

“He has access to politicians, senators and governors. He is in
the struggle for his selfish interest.

“But we are telling the Federal Government that on Biafra 
we stand. No matter the intimidation, the struggle continues.

He added, “Our struggle is based on non-violence . We
(MASSOB) are not among those President (Muhammadu)
Buhari mentioned that they have crossed the red lines because we have been non-violent in our struggle.

“The groups threatening Nigeria’s unity are Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, who are his brothers.

“Look at it now, Boko Haram is looking for autonomy and 
the Fulani herdsmen are not interested in the unity of Nigeria and they are killing people all over Nigeria. Yet, none of them has been prosecuted.

“We have continued to tell the Nigerian Government to hold a
sovereign national conference. Must we go to war?

“Must we stay together in Nigeria? Boko Haram is saying
 that they want Islamic Republic and the Fulani herdsmen 
are going everywhere raping and killing people and destroying farmlands.

“Buhari knows who he is talking to; it cannot be MASSOB

because we are non-violent.”
