Separatist leader and founder of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, on Tuesday disclosed that the pro-Biafra protests rocking the Southeast and other parts of the country are politically motivated to paint the struggle in bad light.
Uwazuruike, who briefed journalists at the Ojukwu Memorial Library in Owerri, the Imo State capital, said the violent protests by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are breach of the non-violence position of MASSOB.
He said, “The current pro-Biafra protests are political, if not so where do they get the monies they share for those participating in the protests. We will actualize Biafra without spilling blood and all those behind the protest are sabotaging the genuine struggle.”
Uwazuruike, who was recently expelled by a faction of MASSOB, however stated that factions are healthy for the struggle.
“We welcome factions in the struggle because MASSOB cannot do it alone. All those preaching violence are not genuine because will not encourage violence in any form,” he stated.
