Lagos, Abuja and other cities where the Igbo reside and do business are all part of Biafra, Kingsley Madu, a leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has said.
According to PUNCH, he made the declaration on Thursday in Enugu during a rally organised to welcome Innocent Oji, leader of the Biafra National Guard, a pro-Biafra group, recently released from prison.
Madu said the declaration is part of a new ideology adopted by Biafran agitators as they “don’t want to confine themselves to a particular place.”
“Pro-Biafra groups have adopted a new ideology which stated that any part of the country where a large population of Igbos is found, and where Igbos contributed towards human and material development, is part of Biafra,” he said.
“Lagos is also Biafra, Abuja is also Biafra. Anywhere our people are that place is Biafra. We don’t want to confine ourselves to a particular place; we now believe that wherever our foot touches is our land that is Biafra.
