The Anambra State chapter of the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has expressed
support for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the November
16 governorship election in Anambra State.
The group said it is the only party the late Ikemba, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu supported, while he was alive.
In a statement, MASSOB commander in Anambra State, Maxwell Adiukwu
said it is time the Igbo take their destinies in their hands, stressing
that APGA remains the only Igbo party.
Adiukwu called on those using the late Ikemba’s name for selfish
purpose to desist, as according to him, “Igbo people are now wiser than
before.”
He said: “All those using Ojukwu’s name and MASSOB for their selfish
gains should desist henceforth. The people are now wise. APGA is Igbo
party and MASSOB will support Igbo party. I call on our governor, Peter
Obi and APGA chairman, Chief Victor Umeh to disregard earlier
publication that MASSOB is not for APGA.
The truth is that some of these so-called people who are against APGA
are not registered voters. They cannot even vote in the coming election
in Anambra. How can you convince someone to vote for the party of your
choice when you cannot even cast a vote.”
He added: “We have lost so much, both in monetary terms, jobs and
lives to the extent that hundreds of our members have died in the
struggle and many are still in prison and in mortuaries. We, Massobians
in Anambra have adopted APGA as the party we must support to win the
November 16 election and no individual with selfish interest can stop
that. MASSOB is for Igbo, Igbo is Ojukwu, APGA is our identity. Any
contrary is a betrayal.”
