Insecurity: MASSOB slams South East govs, Ohanaeze

  • Says meeting without Kanu’s release waste of time

From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri

The leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB) has kicked against the South East security meeting held at the instance of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South East governors, on the current security situation in the zone recently.

Leader of MASSOB Uchenna Madu, in a statement, ruled out a possibility of the meeting yielding a positive result without discussion on how to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

MASSOB while describing the meeting as a charade,maintained that it does not repose any confidence in the present leadership of Ohanaeze to discuss the security issues in South East.

Madu said “The leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo that stood firmly for Justice and fought for the interest of Ndigbo was during the administration of Chief Nnia Nwodo, his successor, Late Professor George Obiozor led administration was grossly compromised with personal political interest, even his current successor, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu is yet to convince Ndigbo that he will not compromise the dignity and high esteemed nature of Ndigbo.

“Organising a south East security summit that involves the same politicians that fuels the insecurities in Igbo land will not solve the problem.

“Leading the so called Igbo political, religious and traditional leaders to Alhaji Bola TInubu in Abuja will never solve the insecurities crisis in southeast region.

“Only the unconditional release of Mazi Nnanmdi Kanu whom Nigeria Federal High Court has already discharged from DSS custody will solve the insecurity question in southeast region,” Madu stated.
