The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has announced the commencement of mobilization and sensitization for a Biafra referendum in Nigeria.
A statement by MASSOB leader, Mr Uchenna Madu, said the referendum will determine "our future existence as an indigenous people’ and undo the British enslavement policies of the Ndigbo.”
“We see it as the need of the hour, as every self determination struggle had its methodology. The non violent Biafra struggle and restoration urgently and earnestly demands the long awaited referendum.
The statement gave no date for the referendum but instead launched into a long-winded prose accusing the north and the west of marginalizing the eastern part of Nigeria.
It ended with this:
“We have released Northern Nigeria from the leading strings of the Treasury. The promising and well conducted youth is now on an allowance of his own and is about to effect an alliance with a Southern Lady of Means. I have issued the special license and Sir Frederick Lugard will perform the ceremony. May the Union be fruitful and the couple constant.”
