The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB) has described the British offer of asylum to IPOB and MASSOB
members as a planned arrangement with the Buhari led government to divert the
attention of the people of Biafra.
Recall that the UK visas and immigration office released new
guidelines that could grant asylum to alleged persecuted members of the Biafran
secessionist groups.
Although the Nigerian government quickly condemned the UK’s
decision on paper, MASSOB claims the gesture is part of a series of plans
hatched by President Buhari in collaboration with the British government
against the emergence of Biafra.
MASSOB in a statement signed by its leader, Comrade Uchenna
Madu, said Biafran agitators do not need British asylum, describing it as a
Greek gift.
“The government of Britain is the sole architecture of the
political, economical and religious problems of the people of Biafra in Nigeria
even till today,” MASSOB’s statement said.
“They have not shown any remorse or apologized to the people
of Biafra. Britain killed, maimed and wounded our fathers, mothers and brethren
through the Hausa Fulanis. MASSOB rejects their Assylum gift.
“How can the chief persecutor of the people of Biafra
suddenly turn to be our pacesetter? Britain and Nigeria can no longer deceive
the world again concerning the plights of the people of Biafra.
“Our unified resilience, resolutions and unshakable spirit
of no surrender will continue to hunt down this geographical expression called
Nigeria.
“MASSOB demands for a referendum on Biafra and not asylum,”
the group said.
