MASSOB-protesters

Secessionist group, the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB,  has  asked President Muhammadu Buhari,  former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and others with ambition to govern Nigeria in 2019 to find better things to do as the country would no longer exist as a united entity by then.

According to the group, President Buhari would be the last president of a “ unified’ Nigeria.

MASSOB leader, Uchenna Madu who said this in a statement on Monday added that Nigeria would have broken to three different entities by  2019.

The statement read, “MASSOB wishes to inform the political gladiators of the Nigerian state that their 2019 political ambitions will not materialise because Nigeria as an entity will not exist beyond the year 2019.

“Before the end of the year 2019, there will be no more Nigeria as a political entity; there will be newborn nations called Biafra, Oduduwa and Arewa republics”.

The group said it ‘painful irony’ that Nigeria has retained the name given to her by the colonial masters, while countries such as Gold Coast(Ghana) Upper Volta(Burkina Faso) and Tanganyika (Tanzania) immediately after their independence changed their names to reflect indigenous content.

The statement read in part, “We also wish to inform the voluntary and forced citizens of this failed entity called Nigeria that Mohammed Buhari is the last president of this geographical expression called Nigeria

“As every nation of the universe has its spiritual anchor and stronghold, MASSOB gladly wishes to inform the people of Biafra that the spiritual anchor and stronghold of Nigeria entity has been broken.

“No military might or alliances with Islamic countries will stop the emergence of Biafra soon. MASSOB in collaboration with other pro-Biafra groups in the genuine spirit of Biafra revolution declares that enough is enough.”

He added, “The coming together of pro-Biafra groups will multiply our synergies and double our consistent efforts towards Biafra actualisation and restoration through our undying demand and pressure for a referendum that will determine our stake in the  Biafran project.”
