The Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has disassociated
itself from the Biafra Independence Movement (BIM)’s celebration of 51st anniversary
of Biafra on May 22, 2018.
In a statement signed by its
leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, MASSOB insisted that May 30 is the Biafra Day
Anniversary, late Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu approved.
Madu said it “will never change
the ordinances of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the leader of Biafra nation.
Ojukwu declared the Republic of Biafra with the total consent and full support
of the elders and the people of Biafra on May 30, 1967.
“MASSOB has no intention or plan
to observe our motherland anniversary celebration on any other date except on
May 30th because it is sacred to the history and lives of Biafra Republic.
“The ordinances of our great
leader, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu must be jealously and eloquently
adhered to. Any attempt to change it by disgruntled persons will be strictly
resisted.
“Though MASSOB understands that
the leader of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, led by Ralph Uwazuruike was
erroneously quoted as MASSOB, planning to observe Biafra Day on May 22nd
instead of May 30th, this is deceiving, distorting and taunting of the sacred
name of Biafra and an astute disobedience to the ordinances of our great
leader, General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
“Any celebration on May 22nd is
not Biafra Day Anniversary but memorial of hoisting of Biafra flag at Faulks
road, Aba on May 22, 2000 by Chief Uwazuruike which is now 18 years.”
