The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has warned President Bola Tinubu against depending on the recent political promises made by Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State and some Igbo leaders for support in the 2027 presidential election.
A statement by Uchenna Madu, leader of MASSOB, reminded the President that those making the promises do not represent the true will of Igbo people.
Part of the statement read: “MASSOB wishes to inform Mr president that these individuals do not represent the true will of the Igbo people and their influence will not translate into genuine voter support.
“MASSOB noted the importance of understanding the sentiments and aspirations of the Igbo grassroots rather than relying on established political figures who will not resonate with the broader community.
“MASSOB is reminding President Bola Tinubu that the South East region will not support his bid for a second term in the 2027 presidential election because his administration has neglected our region, leading to significant pain, agony and feelings of marginalisation among our people.
“MASSOB laments that the South East region deserves better representation and attention from the Federal Government and we believe that the current administration has failed to address the needs and concerns of the Ndigbo.
“Governor Charles Soludo has systematically erased every memory and image of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu from APGA and Anambra state.”
MASSOB reiterated that the decision of the Igbo people regarding their preferred presidential candidate in the 2027 election would ultimately rest with the masses rather than individual leaders or political figures.
