Chukwudi AkasikeTHE Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has criticised South-East governors for turning their backs on Biafra and supporting Igbo presidency ahead of the 2023 general elections. MASSOB, who said the position of the governors was in the minority, added that majority of Igbo people were pursuing the actualisation of a sovereign state of Biafra. Speaking in an interview with The PUNCH, the Director of Information, MASSOB, Sunday Okereafor, said the quest of the Igbo elite for an Igbo person to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd. ), was a mirage as “the northerners will never allow an Igbo man become president of Nigeria.”He said, “There is no way an Igbo man will ever rule Nigeria. “The governors should come up with their own presidency agenda, let MASSOB come up with Biafra agenda and we will see who the people will support.””Copyright PUNCH.
