MASSOB has said that Igbo man can’t be president of Nigeria.
The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB) disclose that their main concerns is that South-east leaders should put palliative measure to prevent blood testy herdsmen to over rule their land.
According to Sunday Okerefor, National Director of Information of MASSOB, disclose this while granting and interview with Saturday Punch, on the interview, he accused Nigerian government of approving N100 billion request of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association members, MACBAN.
On the issue of 2023 presidency, he said an Igbo man cannot be Nigeria president again, in fact no Igbo man is interested in the office.
He said, “We are not interested in the Presidency; an Igbo man cannot be President again. If the currency is naira, then they will never allow Igbo to rule again. NAIRA as an acronym means Never Allow Igbo Rule Again. These Igbo politicians are aware of it; they say that the Igbo were defeated in the war; they would say that we should go home and take care of our children and forget about an Igbo president.
“So we are telling the Ezes to go and chase out these Fulani people from our land before the end of this month because we are aware that the Federal Government has given N100 billion to MACBAN. The Miyetti Allah (MACBAN) wants to use this money to buy our land, not that the government wants to give them land; they want to use that money and come to our communities and buy land to breed their cows and force us into slavery.
“Afterwards, they will bring their cows, ammunition and their brothers there, they will buy large parcels of land and after they buy, we will not be able to stop them again. That is why we are warning the Ezes, that anybody that will welcome the Miyetti Allah, that person will be dealt with. We have told our groups around the communities to monitor the villages to check when the Miyetti Allah will come to buy land. We don’t have any land to sell to them; they should go to the North and buy land there.
“The Miyetti Allah has been given N100 billion whereas, we have Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Ijaw youths and Arewa youths, why didn’t the government give them N100 billion each as they gave to the Miyetti Allah? The federal government should, first of all, ask the Miyetti Allah to drop their weapons because I saw Fulani men in our bush with AK-47 rifles; seven of them were holding these guns. They passed through my community in the bush.”
