Ndigbo will not tolerate further marginalization in Nigeria – MASSOB

 Chief Ralph Uwazurike led Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB has warned that Ndigbo will not tolerate
alleged further marginalization in Nigeria, urging
President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issue
without further delay.
This was disclosed, Sunday, by the Director, MASSOB
Women, Anambra North, Comrade Amaka Okafor
while briefing newsmen after a closed-door meeting
with the Regional Administrators and other top
MASSOB members in Onitsha.
The women who took to a protest without placards,
chanted anti-Igbno marginilization songs and saying
they have resorted to embark on prayers, through
the services of prayer warriors in their bid to
actualize the sovereign state of Biafra.
Comrade Okafor said, “We will use this month’s
August women meeting to pray more fervently as we
have embarked on prayer session throughout Igbo
land to ask God to help us actualize Biafra”.
“We cannot achieve a sovereign state of Biafra
without fervent prayers and we ask our women in
Igbo land to ensure they use this August meeting of
women to mobilize the women for the prayer which
will be headed by the prayer warriors we have
employed.
“We have suffered in a country we are part and
parcel of and the marginalization has lasted for about
four decades unabated without hope of freedom and
that prompted our leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike to
vow that the marginalization must stop and
actualizing a Biafran state is the only way it will stop”
she said.
According to her, ” for the women to come out in
their large number to speak against the injustice
being meted out to Igbos by the Federal Government
in Biafran land shows that they can no longer
tolerate”.
“It was for this same reason that we had the Aba
women riot of 1929 when the women protested
because they were asked to pay tax by the
government and we said no and today again, we are
saying no to the marginalization of the Igbo” she said.
