Biafra Govt will ensure Fed structure-MASSOB

By Phil Okose Onitsha

The Chief Ralph Uwazuruike-led   Biafra independence Movement, BIM and Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB ) said Thursday that the movement would ensure that Federal structure policy would be strictly adhered to when it actualised a Biafran

state.

The Senior Special Assistant to Uwazuruike on Media and Publicity, Elder Chris Mocha, gave the hint adding that Nigerian republic was carefully structured to allow the component units or

regional governments or ethnic nationalities  take 100 percent  full charge of their God given Human and natural resourses while making contributions agreeable to take care of less bogus central

responsibilities.

In a statement issued to newsmen, Mocha said, through  the BIM-MASSOB’s strategic  planning, the Biafran constitution would provide that any section of the country that is dissatisfied with the

UNION will be at liberty to secede.

He spoke at Okigwe while exchanging views with the Chief Minister of the zone, Chief Benedict Chidi Eziefule, assuring him, that the leaders of the

emerging new Biafra must be committed to good governance by ensuring that the country will be administered in such manner that citizens are, at all times happy and willing to belong  without being forced to show allegiance to the state as was the case in Nigeria.

Mocha described as a major break-through in the emancipation struggle of Biafra , the pact signed on May 8, 2004 between MASSOB, Igbo on one hand and the leaders of Niger-Delta under the auspices of Great-Common-Wealth of Niger-Delta representing tribes and leaders of Ejegam, Ijaw, Ikwerre, Ibibio, Usokun, Kalabari, Ekpeye, and Eleme  for the pursuit of Biafra independence  without violence.

He added that MASSOB under the leadership of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike inthe Memorandum of Understanding (Mou), that preference was given that federating units, or regional governments or ethnic  nationalities making up the sovereign state reserves the inalienable rights tode-federate or move away whenever they choose, Mocha said.

He noted the heart beat of that grand alliance shall be wrapped up in this common seal where the sovereignty and Independence of the

nationalities/ Interest shall remain sacrosanct under a true Federal State devoid of all forms of neo-colonialism , suppression of popular

wishes , machiavellian scheming , subjugation of the commonwealth principles , sacrifice of

the Afican principles of egalitarianism, playback of sad  memories, but see all the parties as husband with all  inalienable rights of parentage and

inheritance in Concord with local, ,national and international laws, bills, conventions, charter and declarations.
