MASSOB leader, Solomon Chukwu was speaking with Vanguard on Monday while reacting to reports that South South is not part of Biafra.
He described those holding such view as ignorant of the history of the struggle to liberate their people from the marginalization of the Nigerian government and warned them to stop deceiving the public.
According to Chukwu, the May 22 and 30, 2017, anniversary in commemoration of Biafra heroes was observed throughout Eastern region and proved to the Nigerian government and their agents that the people of Biafra can no longer be held back in their struggle to have a homeland where they could find greater accommodation and satisfaction.
He said “Those who say South South or Niger Delta is not part of Biafra are ignorant; most of them are politicians in the South South zone who are saying it out of mischief to impress their Hausa/Fulani task masters. History has it that people like Ojukwu’s second in command, Gen. Philip Effiong, fought for Biafra till the end.
“Was Effiong not from Akwa Ibom State? My father and other strong men of Niger Delta also fought for Biafra till the last day of the battle. How can somebody like Albert Horsefall say that Port Harcourt is not part of Biafra? I’m a Biafran from Ikwerre land in Obio/Akpor local government area of Rivers state.
“I’m a true son of Niger Delta. Till today, we still have many strong men from the South South who stands to be counted in supporting Biafra. People like Uche Okwukwu, Asari Dokubo, among other great Niger Delta sons who are in support of Biafra.
“Whether they call us South South or Niger Delta or Igbo, the Eastern region is united in the struggle to actualize an independent State of Biafra. Some people from the area who sabotaged Biafra during the war have seen through the Hausa/Fulani deception and regretted their actions.”
