The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra,
MASSOB, has stated that 20 countries will be sending their observers to
monitor the 17th anniversary celebration of the group billed to hold May
22nd to 30th.
MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, revealed
this in Aba, Abia, adding that some of the foreign observers who he
described as friends and partners of MASSOB were being attracted by
MASSOB non-violent policy and would be on ground to monitor the
celebrations in any Biafra city of their choice.
He further said that some of the observers will arrive from countries
such as Gabon, Germany, United States of America, Netherland, Cuba,
Ghana, Benin Republic, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and United Kingdom and
urged Biafra people to come out en mass and celebrate the new Biafra
from May 22 to 30.
Okereafor explained that as age-long friends of Biafra, the foreign
observers expressed their desire to identify with the people during the
celebration, adding that they are billed to commission some completed
projects by MASSOB/BIM in Owerri.
“About 20 foreign observers have indicated interest in monitoring Biafra independence on May 22 to 30.
“Some of them have arrived. You can see that MASSOB/ BIM‘s non violent approach has continued to attract foreign countries.
“From Enugu to Ogoja, Calabar, Agbor, Uyo, Aba, Onitsha, Abakaliki,
Port Harcourt, Asaba and other Biafra cities, there will be massive and
peaceful celebrations.
“We are celebrating the new Biafra which was launched on May 22, 200,
when our leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike hoisted the Biafra flag at 175
Faulks road, Aba.
“Before that time, nobody dared to mention the word, Biafra. Now, we
have achieved independence for Biafra through non violence.” While
displaying a copy of the Biafra passport, Okereafor charged Biafra
people to make use of the document , stressing that it is valid and
accepted by ‘countries friendly to Biafra’ and urged the people to
ignore what he described as the propaganda of the Nigerian government.”
