“Biafra War With Nigeria Not Over” – Uwazuruike

The leader of Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra; a group canvassing for the secession and sovereignty of Eastern Nigeria, Ralph Uwazuruike has said that the war with Nigeria is not yet over in a recent statement at the group’s special meeting yesterday held at the Bayelsa state capital, Yenagoa.


In a statement signed by the Deputy National Direc­tor for Information of the group, Mazi Chris Mo­cha and submitted to the Saturday Sun it was explained that the Yorubas and Hausas/Fulanis fueled enmity between the igbos in the east and their counterparts in the Niger Delta

“My presence today in Bayesla State has again demonstrated that blood is thicker than water. Biafra project is a project that gives us hope and antici­pation. It also differentiates us from others.The massive support Ndigbo gave to Jonathan in the last election explained this fact. Ndigbo have not regretted voting for Jonathan.

“Biafra is a project that brings us together each new day,” the Biafra leader said.

“The project (Biafra) when men­tioned frightens our enemies and stigmatizes us before our oppressors,” he further noted.

Uwazuruike also said his kinsmen had suffered deprivations and massa­cred in their millions because of Bi­afra, disclosing that Jonathan’s defeat had highlighted the fact that the Biaf­ran war fought with Nigeria has not ended.

“It was a war fought between the former Eastern Region (Biafra) and Nigeria. That was why MASSOB strongly supported the Niger Delta. This singular attitude and our reunion with the leaders of Niger Delta on Bi­afra has clearly brought us closer to our brothers and thus, made the strug­gle for Biafran independence stronger again,” Ralph Uwazuruike concluded.
