MASSOB Sacks Uwazuruike; Elects New Leader

 MASSOB Sacks Uwazuruike; Elects New Leader 
Crisis is brewing in the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), as a faction has allegedly expelled its national leader, Chief Ralph  Uwazuruike and immediately, a new leadership was sworn in.

The new leadership is now headed by the group’s former National Director of Information, Uchenna Madu, while Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke, emerged as the new National Secretary.

The new leadership  urged  Uwazuruike to  stop parading himself as MASSOB leader.

In a communiqué signed by national officers and administrators at Okwe, MASSOB’s headquarters, and read by Ugwuoke,  the movement said “the development is to redeem and revive the lost spirit and confidence of the Biafra revolution in our people and Biafra friends and sympathisers.”

The communiqué further stated  that, “vote of no confidence and total rejection has been passed on Ralph Uwazuruike. His inability to sustain and maintain Ojukwu’s dream of Biafra actualisation, his deviation into the mainstream of Nigerian politics and using the Biafra struggle to enhance his selfish political ambition in Nigeria are the onus of our rejection of his association with Biafra struggle.”

The members also allegedly accused Uwazuruike  of defrauding the members to enrich himself and members of his immediate family.
