Buhari in his
remarks described agitations by different groups in Southern Nigeria as
an effort in futility. Describing IPOB agitators as kids, Buhari vowed
that Nigeria would rather drown than to Biafra to happen.
That statement drew the ire of vocal Biafran agitators. The leader of
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB),
Chief Ralph Uwazuruike said “The important thing is not what Buhari said
because he is mistaking as the Biafra which was defeated in 1970 is not
the same with what we have today. Biafra cannot be defeated because its
realization is already at hand and the activities of the Fulani
herdsmen has now made it even easier.”
“Buhari is the president of his country, Nigeria, and he is free to say
whatever he wants. We want to assure our people that Biafra will be
achieved before the end of his tenure. We have our focus, which is to
actualize Biafra through non-violent struggle. So, if anybody feels like
drowning, Biafra will not drown alongside that person, it will remain
afloat.”
In his remarks, ex-Biafran warlord, Col. Joe Achusia (rtd.) stated that
“Buhari calls himself Arewa. In the South-West they have Afenifere, why
can’t they allow us to have our name as it was even before the
amalgamation? What is in a name? Is it a boogie name?
“Except an individual has malice against another that is when you begin
to deny him of his identity. We are not asking for the Biafra of the
secessionist era, we are asking for a name and let people see us for who
we are.
“People should not panic because of the President’s personal opinion, it is his opinion. As such, people should not get angry unnecessarily or start reading meaning to it.”
“People should not panic because of the President’s personal opinion, it is his opinion. As such, people should not get angry unnecessarily or start reading meaning to it.”
On its part, IPOB said the freedom of Biafrans was unstoppable despite all the killings, incarcerations and intimidation.
“We are about to cross the Red Sea, we are confident of what will soon
happen to Pharaoh and his chariots, we can sight the Promised Land;
victory is assured.
Buhari should rather busy himself with David Cameron than sink Nigeria.
He is inadvertently threatening the peace of his country, Nigeria.
Shouldn’t he be tried for treason as he has infamously done to our
leader, Nnamdi Kanu?
“We are marching in solidarity and in honor of over 200 of our members
killed. And the over 100 others who are still missing and to state to
the whole world that your death will not be in vain.”
