National Treasurer of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Damian Okeke Ogene has said
that the Nigerian Government has no control over the members of the
Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB)
and the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB. Adding that government has no
power to stop the movement.
Ogene noted that the current movement could even sweep out the Ohaneze
Ndigbo, urging the Nigerian government to negotiate with MASSOB and
IPOB members to solve their agitations.
The Ohaneze chieftain, who spoke to Daily Sun yesterday, said South East
geopolitical zone had been neglected over the years in the areas of
appointment, judiciary and infrastructure development, which he said,
led to the agitation by the boys.
“Ohaneze is a social cultural organisation and IPOB and MASSOB are
movements, they are two different bodies. Ohaneze has no control over
MASSOB. The arrest of Director of Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu was
wrong because he has every right to air his view, the right of speech.
“The Niger Delta went into militancy against Nigeria and the elders of
Niger Delta never said they sponsored militants or never said they are
against it but when the chips were down, when the Federal Government
wanted to negotiate with the militants, the same elders talked to their
children and they responded. Has the Federal Government in any way
called for dialogue with these MASSOB young men?.
“The Federal Government said they were ready to dialogue with Boko
Haram and they are militants and terrorists. What is wrong with civil
agitators, people think MASSOB is Igbo affair, it has gone
international because it is a movement. The Federal Government must be
very careful; they should call these MASSOB boys to ask them what the
problem is and how to solve it,” Ogene stated.
