The Leader of Biafra
Independence Movement, BIM, Chief Ralph
Uwazuruike, weekend, restated his pledge to
support any self-determination group which
has preferred to carry out its activities
without violence, even as he described the
emergence of Niger Delta Avengers in the
South-South to agitate for its own republic
and not resource control, as a step in the
right direction.
According to Uwazuruike, MASSOB/BIM is
willing to support any self determination
movement provided they are not killing
people.
Speaking through the Biafra Director of
Information, Mazi
Chris Mocha, Uwazuruike
disclosed that the anger which led him to
demand for Biafra since September 13 1999,
was not necessarily provoked by the
Olusegun Obasanjo regime or President
Muhammadu Buhari’s latest assault on
Ndigbo, but rather, it had to do with the
relationship between Ndigbo and the rest of
Nigerians since the January 15, 1966
Chukwuma Nzeogwu-led military coup.
While also lending his group’s support to the
British Prime Minister, David Cameron who
classified Nigeria as a 'fantastically' corrupt
nation, Uwazuruike added that the
insurgency in the North, herdsmen menace
in South East, high rate of corruption by
Nigerian political leaders, inflation,
disrespect for the rule of law, devaluation of
the naira, fuel hike which have brought
hardship, among others, make Biafra
actualization more easier.
He rubbished the stand of the Nigeria’s
President on Biafra, stressing that the
United Nations, UN which Nigeria is
signatory to has superseded that of his
personal opinion, adding that a relevant
charter of UN had recognized the right of
indigenous people to self-determination,
urging his MASSOB/BIM to disregard such
archaic statement
