MASSOB Fires Back at Chief of Army Staff, Buratai For Saying Biafra is Dead

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, under the leadership of Uchenna Madu, has claimed that the Chief of Army Staff, General Tukur Buratai was jittery of the success of the goup.

The group claimed that the recent statement credited to the army chief were he said as long as he is alive, Biafra will never come to fruition was a clear sign that he is jealous and jittery.

MASSOB in a statement issued to newsmen in Overriding, by the National Secretary, Comrade Ibem Ugwuoke Ibem said Buratai is among those living in the paradise of fool.

According to the leadership of MASSOB, “We urge Hausa Fulani apologists like Buratai to continue in their desperate statements which will always prove their frustration and jittery on Biafra’s consciousness and reality.

“The boasting of the Nigerian Chief of Army Staff, Buratai against the non violent agitators that the idea of Biafra actualization and restoration should be forgotten and that our dream will not be actualized in this era, not even in this millennium is unfocused, empty and inconsequential.

“MASSOB understands that when an unqualified and inexperienced person suddenly occupies a position through dubious means, he must do the bidding of his master. Buratai’s overzealousness to satisfy his master will always overshadow him.”
