The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Saturday, threw its weight behind the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, whose unrelenting onslaught on crude oil pipelines and installations in the Niger Delta region has plunged production capacity to below 800BPD.
MASSOB equally expressed satisfaction with the consistency, selflessness and pragmatism of pro-Biafra groups and revealing that their doggedness during last Monday’s Biafra anniversary which turned bloody has proven their firm believe on Biafra secession.
A statement signed and made available to Vanguard by MASSOB leader,Uchenna Madu, it explained that the activities of Niger Delta Avengers is a natural confirmation that Biafra stretches towards the gulf of Guinea.
“The natural inhabitants and indigenous people of these lands are Biafrans by birth but Nigeria by citizens. MASSOB have made it open that we want Biafra though we chooses non violence approach, we shall also support every genuine and legitimate methodology,approach chosen by any group towards Biafran self determination.
“Because of our non violence approach, the Nigerian security forces have killed thousands of MASSOB members and other group members since 1999 when the current struggle started. These extra judicial killings of non violence and unarmed Biafra agitators have gone unchecked by the Nigerian Government and international watchdogs against human rights abuses, brutalities, genocides and pogroms including United Nations.
“The western world seems not to react against the Ethnic cleansing of our people because of economic and diplomatic interest in Biafra natural treasures which they aligned with Nigeria, they kept their hypocritical eyes closed against the fate of over 60 million Biafrans.
“Nigeria and her likes understand the only language of violent, today, Buhari’s military soldiers are being disgraced, economic power block being dismantled, diplomatic relations being shattered, his Government in disarray even himself is confused because of the activities of Biafran agitators in the Eastern region. Our comrades from Niger Delta who are more United and focused than groups from Igbo based hinterland should not relent as the knees of our oppressors shall bow soon. They will beg Nnamdi Kanu”the statement reads.
