The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra ((MASSOB) has denied having disaffection with the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, over the loss of Bianca Ojukwu in the last primary election.
Recall that Bianca Ojukwu contested for Anambra South senatorial zone but lost to Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu.
The national leader of the group, Comrade Uchenna Madu made this known in a statement signed and issued to journalists in Abakaliki, capital of Ebonyi state.
“MASSOB as a foremost pro Biafra, non-violence movement is a non-political movement, we are not interested or involved in Nigeria politics or political party affairs, though MASSOB is a huge factor to be reckoned with in affairs of eastern region and wherever Ndigbo resides. Still we don’t involve ourselves in Nigeria political game unless our stake and aspirations are highly favoured.
“MASSOB wish to disassociate ourselves from a statement credited to MASSOB that we have no problem directing our members and Ndigbo not to vote for APGA candidates in next year general elections. We wish to clarify that the alleged statement is falsehood and deceiving because MASSOB members are not involved in Nigeria political elections.
“MASSOB warn those trying to use our name to score cheap political scores. As MASSOB is a household name that has been reformed under my leadership, we shall never allow some shameless persons to drag MASSOB into the dirty mud of Nigeria politics.
“We understand that some disgruntled and self centered persons who earlier pressurized Iyom Bianca Ojukwu’s political ambition are springing up again to create dissatisfaction again in Igboland using MASSOB name as a cover up.
“They wanted to deceive and use her perceived political position to enrich and draw an unmerited attention to themselves but she does not know that they really want to bury our queen mother.
“Thought she is loved, honoured and acknowledged by Ndigbo as the wife of Eze Igbo Gburugburu, still MASSOB can never allow Iyom Bianca Ojukwu to be rubbished or mesmerized by Hausa Fulani peoples in the red chamber of National Assembly.
“MASSOB warned that the leadership of APGA should not be blamed or castigated because of the failure of Iyom Bianca Ojukwu, she failed because she disobeyed her husband and our ancestors who have seen the mesmerization she will encounter in red chamber of National Assembly. Her failure is a divine act.
“MASSOB under my selfless leadership will never relent or derail in defence of the integrity, honour and respect of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu”.
