Movement
for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra/Biafra
Independence Movement (MASSOB/BIM) has said the self-acclaimed Prime
Minister of Biafra in exile, Finland-based Simon Ekpa is not fighting
for Biafra, but out to truncate the actualisation of the struggle.
Founder of the Movement, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike stated this in Aba at the weekend during the 25th anniversary of the pro-Biafra group.
Uwazuruike, represented by the Biafran Prime Minister, Ezinne Uwaezuoke Precious David, said Ekpa who claims to be the Prime Minister of Biafra in exile, cannot so be when he is preaching violence and not in touch with the situation at home.
He
insisted that the independence of Biafra can only be achieved through
non violence approach which MASSOB/BIM has been advocating since 1999.
“Simon Ekpa said he’s prime minister of Bịafra in exile. That’s his own way of seeing things. However, we believe that one must start from home to be good before going out there in the Diaspora.
“Whatever you’re doing outside remains an outside thing until you’re back at home. When you stay at home to do whatever you’re doing or saying, people will know you’re serious and you have a stake in the nation you’re trying to build. He’s on his own in exile, but I’m out home just as UNPO approved.”
“The young man is not fighting for the independence of Biafra; he is only causing confusion in the
land. On the proliferation of pro Biafra groups, Uwazuruike assured that the groups would soon come together because the independence of Biafra was at hand.
Precious David said
she became the Prime Minister of Bịafra this year and was recognition by
the UNPO, adding that if her election was not recognised by the UNPO,
it’ll not have been successful.
She used the occasion to reiterate the group’s insistence on non violence approach to the struggle, urging those who have taken to violence, to retrieve their steps.
