The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign
State of Biafra, MASSOB, on Tuesday explained why it is
impossible for someone from the South-East to become
Nigeria’s President.
In a statement by its leader, Uchenna Madu, the group
said the structure of Nigerian system which had
reduced Igbos to “minorities” had made it impossible for
the race to emerge as Nigerian President.
Claiming that “Igbo leaders are political slaves in
Nigeria,” Madu said, “The way Nigeria is structured
politically, it will be very hard for Igbo man to be
president of Nigeria. The structure almost reduced
Ndigbo to a minority tribe in Nigeria but history has
always proved that Ndigbo is the largest ethnic
nationality in Nigeria.
“Even though five states were accorded to Ndigbo in
Nigeria but we aare the largest ethnic group in every
state after the indigenes of that state, in all the Nations
of the world.
“Ndigbo are also the largest Nigerian ethnic nationality;
even during the yuletide, all the states in Nigeria
become temporal deserts and inhabitable because
Ndigbo that make every state thick returned to their
native hometowns.
“Even with our population and handshake with some
geopolitical zones, it will be hard for the Igbo to be
Nigerian president because there is a grand plot against
Ndigbo in Nigeria. It will still be difficult for Igbo man to
be president in Nigeria.”
He,
however, noted that the only reason that will force Igbos
to agree to Presidency was for Nigerians to support the
actualisation struggle “because that’s the only working
panacea that attract regional interest to the presidency.”
Recall that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo had
recently advocated for an Igbo Presidency in 2019.
