The leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, led by Uchenna Madu has urged President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other pro Biafra agitators detained across the country.
This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Director of Information, Edeson Samuel.
MASSOB also accused the federal government of excluding South-east from the Nigeria Student Loan, just as swore that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) consciously and systematically orchestrated the last heist during the UTME exam, purely to frustrate the high average examination score of South-eastern region students.
Pointing to other systematic actions to hold the Igbos down, MASSOB, noted that there was no working seaport in the South-east zone and no South-east person among the senior officials of Nigeria National Petroleum Company, Federal Inland Revenue Service and Nigeria Customs Service.
Currently, the federal government of Nigeria has closed down the Enugu international airport in the South-east zone including the railway transportation service in the South-east zone.
May 30th has been fixed by the pro-Biafra groups as a National Day of Introspection and self-examination for the people of Biafra after 58 years of the forceful and deceitful actions of General Gowon popularly known as reintegration, reconciliation and rehabilitation back to Nigeria.
