Buratai cannot stop Biafra – MASSOB

by Dolapo Adelana

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra  (MASSOB) has dismissed a statement credited to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Buratai, who was alleged to have said that the creation of the state of Biafra would not be actualised.

Buratai was alleged to have said the Biafra agitation would not be successful in the present era and not even in the four millennia to come.

The Uche Madu-led group said Buratai’s comments would not deter its struggle for secession.

It likened the Army Chief’s comments to what the Leaders of India said before India was broken into two, and Pakistan was created.

In a statement signed by the National Secretary of MASSOB, Comrade Ibem Ugwuoke Ibem, the group urged Hausa–Fulani apologists like Buratai to desist from speaking against the emergence of Biafra.

Ibem, declared that MASSOB as a non-violent group.

He said, “The comments of Buratai and his cohorts cannot stop us. We are already in the match. Nothing can deter us. What does one expect from one employed by one’s master? Buratai overzealousness to satisfy his master (The Presidency) wills always overshadow him.

“I can liken Buratai’s comments to those spoken by leaders of Indonesia before their country broke into two and East Timor was created. I still maintain that Biafra will soon emerge out of Nigeria”.
