2017: No going back on Biafra –BIM

2017: No going back on Biafra agitation- BIM

From Emmanuel Uzor, Abakaliki and Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

THE Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), one of the frontline groups affiliated to the Movement for the

Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), yesterday

reiterated its readiness to continue their agitation until Biafra is

achieved.

Leader of MASSOB-BIM, Ebonyi South zone, Mr. Sunday Ezaka disclosed

that the only way to lasting peace and political stability of the

nation was for the Federal Government to allow the

sovereignty of Biafra nation to come into full existence.

“The entire members of MASSOB-BIM in Ebonyi South zone, Ebonyi State

support Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, the leader of MASSOB-BIM and Chief

S.O Chukwu for their vision for the Igbo and

Biafra nation. They have done marvellously well more than any other

group in the country.

“Today, Biafra has come to be a reality and very soon it will be open

and clear to everybody. The only thing that will bring peace to

Nigerian and Biafra is for the Federal Government to stop opposing the

full existence of the Biafra.

Also,  the group, yesterday called on elder statesmen, senior citizens and Army chiefs in various parts of the country to galvanise forces this Christmas season to achieve their independence from the Nigerian state.

MASSOB –BIM leader for Anambra North, Chief Emmanuel Omenka who made the call in Onitsha yesterday through the zonal Director of Information, Charles Igbokwe said this period of mass return presents a golden opportunity for stakeholders in various regions of the country to come together and press home their demand for an independent region away from Nigeria

Omenka said if those who are supposed to take action decide to remain docile refusing to act, the implication is that the people would continue to suffer for the next 100 years.

He said it was their time to save their people from bondage by doing the needful so that their people could be liberated from bondage and political servitude.

Omenka also urged all Igbo citizens resident and those living outside the zone to feel at home this Christmas and beyond because of the tight security provided by MASSOB-BIM security arm.

He chided the police, the government  and other security agencies thumping their chest for providing security and boasted that if not for their own internal secret security arrangement put in place, nobody would have ventured to move around in the South East within this Yuletide owing to  security challenges.

“If Biafra stays on its own, it will help a lot. We have all the

minerals resources and endowment that will help us develop and be

independent for life. It will bring peace as Biafran will develop

without bounds. The Federal Government is not helping matters and we

blame them for all the deaths of our members since the agitation began

in the country.”
