The Biafra Independence Movement (BIM), formerly known as Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), says the Federal Government has no power and capacity to stop the actualization of the Biafra state.

BIM revealed that the matter is now before the United Nations (UN) for consideration.

While addressing newsmen in Monday in Onitsha, a Personal Assistant to former leader of MASSOB, Ralph Uwazurike, Emmanuel Omenka, said the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Uchenna Madu led MASSOB are perpetuating the recent mayhem in the South East and South South zones.

He added that both groups should be held responsible for the destruction and loss of lives during the protest.

“Uchenna was expelled from MASSOB in 2014 because of anti MASSOB activity, when you don’t follow the organogram of the we expel you so, they were expelled for not following the organogram”.

“Madu and his cohorts are being sponsored by politicians to blackmail the then Uwazurike led MASSOB, but we don’t blackmail, we remain non violence in action and words, those politicians who said that Biafra died in 1970 are cowards because Biafra still exists.

“The God we serve will still help us to actualize a Biafra State without splitting blood, we are BIM now and we are more determined than ever to actualize Biafra without violence.”

“Those politicians that are sponsoring Madu and cohorts will never succeed because Uwazuruike remains the only Igbo man that stakes his life for the course of the Igbo nation”.

“He is the leader we know in Igboland and who will take us to the promise land not minding the intimidation, blackmail and arrest by the Federal Government security forces against our members.
