There have been statements and counter-statements released over the holding of election in Anambra state come November 18. This time. the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has said the governorship election must hold.
MASSOB stated that contrary to the statement credited to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, that the election would not hold in the state, the people of Anambra should be prepared to exercise their voting rights on that day.
The National Director of Information of MASSOB, Sunday Okereafor, who spoke in a telephone interview with SUNDAY PUNCH said it was wrong for anybody to say election would not hold in the state.
Okereafor explained that MASSOB would storm Awka, the Anambra State capital, on September 13, 2017 to celebrate the 18th anniversary of the movement, adding that the group was planning to establish a Biafra radio station in Germany.
We have come a long way and we are the founders of the struggle. All the pro-Biafra groups came out of MASSOB. We are telling Anambra people to go ahead in November and be part of the election.”
He pointed out that the radio station would not be used for hate speech and blackmail of other ethnic groups, adding that “real information” would be disseminated to the people.
