The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has condemned in it’s entirety, the support given to the presidential aspiration of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State by some Igbo governors.
In a statement signed by it’s National Director of Information Comrade Edeson Samuel MASSOB said it is particularly not happy with the Governor of Abia state Okezie Ikpazu .
“It is very disappointing and unpatriotic that some Igbo political leaders whom Ndigbo gave mandate to represent Igbo interest will work against the Igbo agenda to clinch the president of Nigeria.
“How could some of our political leaders support a man who openly denied his igboness, a man whose pathological hatred against Ndigbo is overwhelmingly seen?
“Governor Wike sponsored the killing of Igbo youths in River State, a man full of himself and arrogant without regards for anybody.
“MASSOB warned Igbo leaders to stop their selfish actions that are capable of distorting the overall interest of the southeast region, because MASSOB will never tolarate such political selfishness now.
“Governor Nyeson Wike is not interested in aspiring for the presidency, he is an errand boy to his master, Governor Tambuwal of Sokoto state, our Igbo political leaders should know that Nyesom Wike is deceiving them. 2023 is the turn of southeast to produce the next president of Nigeria.
“These South East governor’s played the same game in 2019 general election with General mohammadu Buhari and APC ruling government, which they promised Buhari 25% of our vote because of their selfish interest.
“Our intelligence report has revealed that the Governor of Abia state are in agreement with Nyesom Wike, because of the crisis of who should control the state structures and the list of the party delegates that will be submitted to the party national sectariate in Abuja for the incoming primaries.
” MASSOB is making it clear that any governor or national Assembly members from Igbo land found working against any presidential aspirants from South East, shall be treated as sabourtuer and a betrayer of his own brother.
“We can never forgive any Igbo leader that betrays our collective interest in 2023, irrespective of his position, we shall mark them.”
