EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has issued a strong warning to pro-Biafra groups against boycotting the 2023 general elections in the Southeast.

According to Samuel Edeson, MASSOB’s national director of information, the group would continue to champion the actualisation of Biafra, ‘through the principles of non-violence and international diplomacy in collaboration and brotherhood with other progressive pro-Biafra groups’.

The group made the decision on Tuesday during its national executive council meeting presided over by their leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, on Tuesday in Enugu.

Edeson stated that, “MASSOB has realised that Biafrans cannot forcefully impose our desirable interest on the people of Nigeria.

“And also having understood the principles of non-violence, MASSOB unanimously agreed and resolved that Nigeria state will independently and internally conduct their political exercises, including general elections in Igbo land.

“MASSOB, in the wisdom of internationally recognized freedom of political participation and exercises, declares that this year’s general elections in Nigeria state will not be stopped or boycotted in Biafra land.

“The people of the southeast region are free to participate in the electoral processes of Nigeria because our political space must be filled. MASSOB has allowed INEC to conduct elections in Biafra land for our people that still believe in the Nigeria state.”

Edeson advised pro-Biafra groups planning to boycott the elections ‘to stay at home during election days’, and avoid disrupting the exercise, warning against ‘anarchy and public betrayals’.

The meeting further resolved that “Having also realized the importance of political and economical powers and their usefulness for the self-determination of Biafra actualization and restoration, MASSOB declares that Ndigbo will massively participate in the 2023 presidential and legislative elections to elect credible, selfless and progressive persons to represent southeast political interests.
