The Uchenna Madu-led faction of MASSOB has
reaffirmed its support to the Niger Delta Avengers,
The group insists Ralph
Uwazuruike is collaborating with the federal government through DSS to scuttle
and sabotage efforts made for independence of Biafra from Nigeria – Calls on
Uwazuruike and his members to should stop deceiving themselves by claiming to
be MASSOB members,
According to the Nation, the group in a
statement issued in Enugu reaffirmed its support for the NDA and accused Ralph
Uwazuruike and his associates of not clamoring for Biafra. It said: “the latest
development has further shown and proved to the Biafran people that the man
called Ralph Uwazuruike and his associates like Sunny Okoroafor are not
existing or clamoring for Biafra. “How can a Biafran person in his or her right
senses deny or condemn the Niger Delta Avengers and other genuine Niger Delta
groups agitating for Biafra? “If reformed and only one MASSOB under the
leadership of our leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, is wrong in supporting the
Niger Delta Avengers on their activities for Biafra actualization and
restoration, why is it that other pro-Biafra groups have not condemned MASSOB?”
The group insisted that Ralph Uwazuruike was collaborating with the federal
government through the DSS to scuttle and sabotage efforts made for
independence of Biafra from Nigeria. It said: “MASSOB wish to remind Biafran
people that it’s on record which can never be erased that Ralph Uwazuruike was
expelled from MASSOB on 30th November, 2015 at MASSOB headquarters, Okwe for
numerous criminal activities, open/shameful political romance with Federal
Government, sabotage against genuine Biafran activities, signing of documents
for enthronement of one indivisible Nigeria, etc. “After a week of the
expulsion, he quickly formed his new group called Biafra Independent Movement
(BIM).
The MASSOB faction said Uwazuruike is no
longer part of MASSOB, including his BIM members and cautioned them to should
stop deceiving themselves by claiming to be MASSOB members. Meanwhile,
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari appears to be in a
dilemma on how to dissuade the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) from carrying out
further attacks on oil and gas installations in the Niger Delta region, while
it tries to broker a dialogue with stakeholders. Vanguard reports that the
minister of state for petroleum Ibe Kachikwu is currently battling get
militants to accept that they would no longer blow up pipelines after repairs
by the oil companies are carried on the oil installations.
Kachikwu has implored stakeholders to
persuade the militants to allow repair work on oil installations while the
negotiations go on.
