Top southeast politicians who defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) have come under fire from the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
The pro-biafra secessionist group expressed its utmost displeasure at the development in a statement signed by the group’s national director for publicity Samuel Edeson.
MASSOB named former Senate president Ken Nnamani, former governor of Abia state Orji Uzor Kalu and ex-governor of old Anambra Jim Nwobodo in the statement as the centre of its attack.
The statement read: “They (Ndigbo) never benefited anything during his tenure as Senate President. These men are contract seekers that have no Igbo interest in mind.
“Time has come when we will no longer accept these kind of men in Igbo land. We are going to mobilize all the genuine pro-Biafra agitators and Igbo youths against these selfish greedy politicians.
“Who among these men that decamped to APC can beat his chest and boldly say that this is what I did for my people. Nobody will use Igbo land as battle field again like NPN/NPP in 1983.
“The Fulani herdsmen killed our people in Nimbo Uzo-Uwani, killed in Awgu; Umuahia, Delta and other places and they did not see reasons to speak against these killings of innocent people.
“They are political prostitutes. When we said last year that we are going to make this government ungovernable, they thought that we are going to fight them with arms, or going to the streets to protest. No, with our diplomatic moves, we have been able to achieve a lot.”
Former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had said the Igbos should be given a chance at presidency in 2019 but Okorocha has said that this will only happen in 2023.
