Leadership of Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign
State of Biafra, MASSOB, has revealed that some traditional rulers have
joined up in the pro-Biafra struggle.
The leader of the MASSOB-Biafran Independence Movement, BIM, in Enugu
North zone, Chief James Omeke, while speaking to the press, during the
mobilization and sensitization of the new members from Igbo Etiti,
revealed that their numbers are rising daily.
Chief Omeke said that the new members were taught that non-violence would earn them their sovereignty.
Omeke further explained that the regional administrator of Igbo
Etiti, Jude Elugwu with other members traveled the entire Igbo Etiti to
sensitize people and recruit new members.
He said, “We see the recent mobilization and sensitization of people
of Igbo Etiti region as very successful as we now have in our fold
traditional rulers and about 200 new committed members enlisted into
MASSOB-BIM.
“I cannot reveal the identity of the traditional rulers because it is
not in my power to do so. Our national leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike
will do that when the time is ripe.
“We told them that our national leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike had
taken the matter up to the level of United Nations (UN), intimating them
of his plans to carve out Biafra from Nigeria.
“The mobilization of new members witnessed a large turnout of people
from twelve villages. We conscientised our new members on why MASSOB-BIM
remained non -confrontational, we told them how we intend to actualize
Biafra without a single gunshot.
“Our message to them is Biafra, our weapon, is non-violence.”
