The leadership of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, on Tuesday lambasted the federal government of Nigeria over its attack and threat to arrest the 2023 Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
MASSOB said President Bola Tinubu’s aide, Bayo Onanuga is aware that Northerners trying to hijack power in 2027 are behind the planned protest and not Obi.
In a statement by its leader, Uchenna Madu, MASSOB said the heavy and massive incoming protest against hunger, high cost of living, government high corruption, impunity and government insensitivities against the welfare of the citizens is not planned or orchestrated by Mr Peter Obi or his nationwide supporters.
According to Madu: “The federal government of Nigeria led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu knows that the motivation and inciting of the massive organised protest is not influenced by Mr Peter Obi but the Northern oligarchic leaders which includes some powerful northern political, religious, opinion and traditional leaders.
“The primary aim of these northern political bourgeoisies is not for the interest of poor Nigerian masses but for their advancement plot to hijack power back to Arewa interest in 2027. It is not about Mr Peter Obi or his supporters interest.
“My Bayo Onanuga and Omokiri are two leading internal and external figures sponsored by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led Federal government of Nigeria in waging wars of character assassination, blackmailing and incitement against Mr Peter Obi.
“MASSOB described Mr Peter Obi as a true nationalist, detribalized hope of the common citizens. He is being celebrated nationwide as the hero of modern democracy in Nigeria.
“Though MASSOB believe in Biafra restoration, we acknowledged the input of Mr Peter Obi in advancement of uniting the Nigeria state.”
