Pro-Biafra groups threaten APGA


Image result for Ojukwu: Pro-Biafra groups threaten APGA
The no confidence vote was passed at a joint meeting of the two groups in Owerri on Monday, where the founder and leader of the group, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, presided over the meeting. The Movement of the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Biafran Independent Movement (BIM), have passed a vote of no confidence on the leadership of All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA over the conduct of Anambra South Senatorial primaries.
The group also warned politicians to desist from using Ojukwu’s pictures for political campaigns, adding that seven days ultimatum had been issued to those having his pictures on their vehicles for politics to remove them.  The group claimed that Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, wife of late Biafran warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu, was unjustly denied Anambra South Senatorial ticket.
Bianca Ojukwu lost the contest to Nicolas Ukachukwu.  However, Uwazuruike, in the resolution, said Bianca Ojukwu merited automatic ticket for the position, going by the antecedents and influence of late Ojukwu who was the leader of the party while alive.  Why can’t the wife of our leader get automatic ticket when other aspirants from other two zones got automatic tickets.  APGA does not want any member of Ojukwu’s family to be carried along but they want to win election with Ojukwu’s picture; even Ojukwu’s son contested earlier through the party’s platform but failed, he said.  We are talking about the founder and former leader of the party; Ojukwu is the symbol of the party and he should be respected for that even in death.  APGA has derailed and we will not support the party for any position in Igbo land because our late leader has been humiliated and insulted and we will stand to protect his integrity, he said.  He said that APGA had been hijacked by cabals who now used the party for money-making venture, adding that the party would not win election in 2019.  Reacting, National Director of Publicity of the party Ifeatu Okoye told NAN that the party was democratic in handling its affairs.  He said APGA was doing everything possible to ensure that popular aspirants emerged. Okoye said the decision of MASSOB and BIM would not affect their chances of winning election. He further said a committee had been set up to look into what played out in Binca Ojukwu’s election.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra.

The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria.
