The Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State Of Biafra, MASSOB, has called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to let Biafrans go.
The group noted that Python dance
and other forms of intimidation cannot stop the agitation for Biafra.
It also stated that they were not
calling for disintegration of Nigeria but the freedom of Igbos.
This was contained in a statement
in Enugu, yesterday issued by MASSOB’s National Director of Publicity, Samuel
Edeson.
According to the release, “MASSOB
is not saying that Nigeria should disintegrate.
“What we are demanding is freedom
of Biafrans. Any Igbo man or woman who wishes to remains in Nigeria is free and
if any Nigeria feels to live in Biafra, he will be accepted.
“If President Mohammad Buhari is
supporting the states of Palestinian and Saharawi, why is he against Biafra
freedom?
“MASSOB wishes to make it clear
that no amount of threats by Nigerian army, police and other security agents
can ever stop us from pursuing our freedom.
“What we are doing is legal,
constitutional and justifiable and nobody can ban us because self determination
is guaranteed by United Nations and the African Union charter, which Nigeria is
signatory to both organisations,” Edeson said.
The Pro-Biafra group alleged that
it was for fear of international prosecution that the Nigerian government was
considering pulling out of 90 international organizations it belonged to.
“Nigerian government is afraid of
prosecution by all these organizations. The genocide and war crime cases are at
the door of Nigeria government. The Chief of Army Staff and the GOC 82 Division
must face ICC.
“Python should go ahead and
dance, after dancing we shall see the end of Python. Biafra agitators cannot be
banned. Nigeria, let Biafra go and you will have peace,” he stated.
