The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra, on Tuesday declared that an Igbo man would never become
Nigeria’s President.
In a statement signed by MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, entitled ‘We insist on Biafra through non-violence, not Igbo presidency’, the secessionist group berated Igbo leaders, describing them as ‘political slaves’ who have no chance of ruling the country.
Leading Igbo politicians are nursing strong hopes that the
presidency would be zoned to the South-East in 2023, and a former
President, Olusegun Obasanjo, recently suggested that that the Igbos
should run for the office in 2019.
But MASSOB described expectations that an Igbo man would become the
country’s President in 2019 or 2023 as mere wishful thinking.
“The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra has declared that an Igbo man may not be President of Nigeria
again because Igbo leaders are political slaves in Nigeria.
“Even 2019 and 2023 will come and go, an Igbo man will not be President of Nigeria.
“We insist on Biafra actualization and restoration through non violence, not Igbo presidency,” the group said in the statement, which was made available to journalists in Enugu.
