The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) on Monday said its threats towards Igbo leaders forced senators form the South East to meet President Muhammadu Buhari last week.

In a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Innocent Igbo, the group said the senators were afraid of the threaten revolution against them.

They described the meeting as a welcome development.

The pro-Biafra group said, “This sudden political move of Igbo Senators to President Buhari is a welcome development even though Buhari may not easily hearken to their pleas because of his anti-Igbo policies.

“As we acknowledge the Igbo Senators, MASSOB charges Igbo House of Representative members, traditional, religious and opinion leaders to start initiating positive steps towards addressing the menace faced by our people.”

Recall that some Senators from the South East led by Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, recently held a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa.
