The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB has replied former President Olusegun Obasanjo on his recent assertion that “Biafra is dead.”
MASSOB insisted that Biafra is still alive and will never die.
Obasanjo, while presenting a paper entitled: “Resurgent Biafra Agitation: Born in Error, Ignorance and Frustration,” at a public discussion on Biafra, organised by Nextier Advisory in Abuja, on January 15, had said Biafra was long dead and forgotten.
The former president played down the current clamour for the resurrection of Biafra as an independent state.
Advising Nigerians, especially the people of the South-East, not to take the pro-Biafra agitators seriously, Obasanjo said, “No right-thinking person who has experienced the horror of war will ever agitate for more war.
“Nigeria cannot afford to go from Boko Haram insurgency to any other insurgency under any guise.
“And on no account should we wittingly or unwittingly allow this to happen again.”
