Ndigbo In Europe, America Sponsoring Nnamdi Kanu To Destabilize Southeast–MASSOB Leader

Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of the Biafra Independence Movement and Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (BIM-MASSOB), says accusations that the incessant attacks in some parts of the Southeast are being masterminded by insurgents from the Northeast of the country are unfounded.
Rather, he said Igbo youths living overseas are behind the crises and the zone.

THE WHISTLER recently reported that the Ohanaeze Youth Council, in a press statement, accused insurgents from the Northeast of masterminding the increasing attacks in the Southeast parts of the country.

Conversely, Uwazuruike, while addressing the World Igbo Congress European Branch (WICE) during its virtual meeting on security situations in the Southeast, said ‘the only insecurity in the land is the one that is being sponsored by Ndigbo in diaspora’.

According to him, “Some Ndigbo in diaspora, especially America and Europe, are sponsoring the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, to destabilise Ala-Igbo with his constant illusionary Fulani herdsmen’s attacks.”

In a release by Uwazuruike’s special assistant on social media matters, Comrade Emma N. Nnadi, which was made available to our correspondent in Aba today, the founder of MASSOB said, “We don’t have any security problems here. The Southeast is the most peaceful zone in Nigeria. The only problem we have in Igbo land is from our people in diaspora, mainly America and Europe, because they are the people from foreign land telling us that Fulani people have taken over the entire Southeast; that Fulani are inside bushes and rivers in the Southeast.

“All these are false propaganda. They are all lies because BIM-MASSOB, as an organization, is on ground. BIM-MASSOB is in every family in Igbo land. There is no family in Igbo land you will not get a member of BIM-MASSOB, and our security members are writing and submitting security reports on a daily basis about whatever happens in their areas, and we analyse such reports. But you people will be in America and Europe, and will be telling the gullible people in Igbo land that Hausa/Fulani people have entered our land, this and that are happening in Igbo land.

“If Hausa people enter Igbo land with trailers and so what? Check how many Igbo people in their thousands that stream to the North and West on a daily basis. If Hausa people, about three or four enter Igbo land, the entire world will be disturbed unnecessarily because some people have taken such propaganda as their business. They eat with such propaganda, and they are ready to be creating crises in the Southeast. But those that are creating that, none of them reside in Southeast and Nigeria.”
