Election: MASSOB warns Danjuma, Oba of Lagos

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has warned the former Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophilus Y. Danjuma and Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu to stop making cynical statements against the Igbo and their leadership.

A statement issued by MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike said MASSOB would not keep its arms akimbo and watch the name of its founder being dragged in the mud in the name of politics.
Uwazuruike was reacting to a statement credited to Gen. Danjuma that the Nigerian /Biafran Civil war was prolonged because the Biafran warlord, Late Dim. Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, did not concede victory when Enugu fell.expdonaloaded blog
The MASSOB leader said Gen. Yakubu Gowon refused to abide by the Aburi Accord because people like Gen. Danjuma advised him not to abide by the accord and thereby prolonged the war and caused blood to flow.
Uwazuruike, who spoke through his Personal Assistant and the Nnewi North regional administrator, Emmanuel Omenka, said: “He has been insulting Ojukwu, what is the concern of Ojukwu in the conceding of victory to General Muhammadu Buahri (rtd) by President Goodluck Jonathan.
“If Danjuma and his cohorts did not support Gowon, the war would have been averted,” he declared.
On the statement, which was credited to Oba Rilwan Akiolu of Lagos that Igbo in Lagos would perish in the lagoon if they failed to vote for the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, MASSOB said that the Oba’s threat was that of a drowning man.
“The threat is null and void and of no effect because the Oba has no such power to threaten an Igboman,” he stated.
