THE ONLY WAY TO STOP BIAFRA AGITATION.


- Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB) says there is one solution to stop the pro-Biafra agitation - The group says restructuring Nigeria is not the solution to the various agitations in the country - MASSOB insists the only solution is for the federal government to call a national conference for various ethnic groups The Ralph Uwazuruike led faction of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra (MASSOB) has said restructuring Nigeria is not the solution to the agitations across the nation. Francisiroh.blogspot.com gathered that Sunny Okereafor, the pro-Biafra National Director of Information, said the only solution to the current agitation is for the Federal Government to convene a sovereign national conference where the various ethnic nationalities are allowed to determine their future.  Okereafor, while announcing the plans for the celebration of MASSOB’s 18th anniversary on September 13 in Aba, Abia State, on Sunday, July 9, condemned the call for restructuring of the country by South East governors and leaders. He said: “Restructuring is not the solution to the problem of agitation caused by injustice and marginalization in Nigeria. Where will we start restructuring from? “Restructuring is not the solution to the increasing agitations by several ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. Restructuring is akin to scratching the surface of the problems. “Igbo want Biafra; Yoruba want Oduduwa Republic, Boko Haram want Islamic republic and the Hausa/Fulani wants the status quo to be maintained because it is their favour and others want resource control. The question is what are you restructuring for? “Every section of Nigeria had agreed that the federation isn’t workable; Fulani herdsmen are killing with the federal government playing the ostrich, the north heads all the military and Para military agencies, oil producing communities live in abject poverty, grade A positions are only reserved for natives of certain parts of the country. “Ndigbo have been relegated to second class citizens. In the kind of situation prevailing in Nigeria, a sovereign national conference is the only solution. The federal government should convene a sovereign national conference without further delay.” we previously reported that governors of south-east and south-south Nigeria met at the Nike Lake Resort, Enugu on Sunday evening. The governors met to deliberate on the ongoing agitation for Biafra in the region, especially by the youths. The meetings of governors of the two regions in Enugu, is to find a way to form a strong alliance that can push forward the demand for a restructured governance and the best way to handle agitation coming from the youths.
