MASSOB Marks 26 years Anniversary, vows to continue Agitation

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB) has reinstated its commitment in the continuation of the self determination struggle for the actualization and restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra through non-violence method.   

Leader of MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu, made the vow on Saturday in a statement marking the 26 years anniversary of the establishment of MASSOB.

Madu recalled that the agitation for the restoration of the defunct Republic of Biafra was resurrected on September 13 1999, remembering also it's numerous members whose lives were cut shot in the hands of Nigeria security agents because of Biafra agitation.

Madu lamented that it's non violent MASSOB members were molested, mesmerized, humiliated and brutally killed by the armed security agents of its oppressors. 

"Today, we the remnants of MASSOB activists also remember the parents of our fallen heroes, some are still traumatized, some are dead because of shock while others are living ghost of themselves.     

"We are committed, consistent and uncompromising agitating for an independent state of Biafra from Nigeria. Biafra is the answer to the numerous subjective slavery Nigeria subjected Ndigbo into, ranging from political, economical, academic, religious, cultural and social slavery. 

"Today in Nigeria, true nationhood has remained stillborn. Peace, justice and equity has remained elusive to Nigeria which still remains in perpetual strife and increasing crises since her independence. These undeniable realities are the reasons the Nigerian State is afraid of Biafra which represents the truth they can not legitimately counter. Biafra speaks of the truth Nigeria know they are guilty of, so out of weakness, jittery and fear, Nigeria resort to repressions, persecutions, killings and detention of Biafra agitators.                   

"MASSOB have resolved that 24 years of our long walk to freedom can never be jeopardized, compromised or corrupted. 

MASSOB shall never relent in our non violent Biafra struggle because the truth shall always prevail over falsehood," Madu said.
