The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has declared that the 2023 general elections will take place in the South East, assuring that nobody can stop the process in the region.
The pro Biafra group made this declaration after their National executive council meeting which was presided by their leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu at MASSOB National Secretariat in Awgu, Enugu state.
The meeting which was attended by all the state, zonal and LGA coordinators including the National Directors also said that they’re monitoring all the candidates across board and will name their preferred candidates in due time.
Comrade Samuel Edeson, National Director of Information, MASSOB said that the meeting agreed as follows:
That after more insightful and intensive deliberations on the current affairs of Nigeria state and future plight of the people of Biafra, MASSOB reaffirmed our primary and vowed goal of actualising Biafra through the principals of non violence and international diplomacy in collaboration and brotherhood with other progressive pro Biafra groups.
MASSOB, having realised that Biafrans cannot forcefully impose our desirable interest on the people of Nigeria. And also having understand the principals of non violence, MASSOB unanimously agreed and resolved that Nigeria state will independently and internally observed and conduct their political exercises including general elections in Igbo land.
MASSOB in the wisdom of internationally recognized freedom of political participation and exercises, we declared that this year general elections in Nigeria state will not be stopped or boycotted in Biafra land. The people of southeast region are free to participate in the electoral processes of Nigeria because our political space must be filled. MASSOB have allowed INEC to conduct elections in Biafra land.
MASSOB have agreed to allow INEC to conduct elections in Biafra land for our people that still believe in Nigeria state. MASSOB advised that other pro Biafra groups that planned to boycott the elections are entitled to stay at home during elections days. Governance are not allowed to breed anarchy and public betrayals.
That having also realized the importance of political and economical powers and its usefulness for the self determination of Biafra actualization and restoration, MASSOB declares that Ndigbo will massively participate in the 2023 presidential and legislatures elections to elect credible, selfless and progressive persons to represent southeast political interest.
That the thoroughly and holistic examination of all candidates for senatorial, House of Representatives and governors in Igbo land including the presidential candidates is still under investigation by MASSOB to ascertain the most credible, competent, incorrupt and eloquent candidates irrespective of their political parties for endorsement.
That Nigeria elections will come and go irrespective of whoever that wins in both national and state elections. That MASSOB must continue with Biafra projects of actualization irrespective of both internal and external distractions.
