The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB), under the leadership of Ralph Uwazuruike, has said restructuring Nigeria is not the solution to issues of secession.
According to Daily Post, MASSOB maintained that the only solution to the current agitation is for the Federal Government to convene a sovereign national conference where the various ethnic nationalities are allowed to determine their future.
According to Okereafor, “Restructuring is not the solution to the problem of agitation caused by injustice and marginalization in Nigeria. Where will we start restructuring from?
“Restructuring is not the solution to the increasing agitations by several ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Restructuring is akin to scratching the surface of the problems.
“Igbo want Biafra; Yoruba want Oduduwa Republic, Boko Haram want Islamic republic and the Hausa/Fulani wants the status quo to be maintained because it is their favour and others want resource control. The question is what are you restructuring for?
“Every section of Nigeria had agreed that the federation isn’t workable; Fulani herdsmen are killing and raping our women with the federal government playing the ostrich, the north heads all the military and Para military agencies, oil producing communities live in abject poverty, grade A positions are only reserved for natives of certain parts of the country.
