SAN FRANCISCO, 07, (THEWILL) – The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has declared that the quit notice given to the Igbos in Northern Nigeria by a coalition of Northern groups did not come as a surprise.
THEWILL recalls that the Northern groups, headed by the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, on Tuesday, announced that all Igbos resident in the Northern parts of Nigeria have three months to quit or be forced out after the expiration of the October 1, 2017 deadline.
The ultimatum, handed down at a well-attended press conference held at the Arewa House, Kaduna, followed the sit-at-home order enforced by the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra on May 30, 2017 which the five South-East states complied with.
Responding, MASSOB leader, Uche Madu, declared that the group is in support of what he described as a “divinely approved quit notice” as he urged the Igbos to vacate the land before the expiration of the notice.
“MASSOB is aware that such rascality will happen,” Madu said.
“As a matter of fact, this is the only rascality exhibited by sponsored Arewa youths to forcefully exit the people of Biafra residing in Arewa land that MASSOB will 100 percent support.
“Their Boko Haram tactics didn’t work as planned. We pledge our total support towards this divinely approved quit notice.
“MASSOB congratulates the Arewa political, religious, traditional and opinion leaders who sponsored their youths wing by using Arewa House in Kaduna for this greatest meeting of a coalition of Islamic fundamentalist.
“As there is no other alternative to stop Biafra freedom, the northern leaders have resorted to using their youth wing to start terrorising the people of Biafra living in the northern region.
“What they saw during the sit-at-home exercise to mark the 50th anniversary celebration of Biafra declaration by General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu marvelled them irrespective of the promises made to them by their stooges in Biafra land.
“MASSOB urge our people to start returning home now. Don’t wait till the three months for quit notice to expire. MASSOB is begging our people to re-invest their investments back to Biafra land.”
