The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has lambasted the Peoples Democratic Party for “insensitive, purposeful, and political neglect” of the people of the South-East.
It cautioned the governing All Progressives Congress not to follow suit, saying that doing so would result in Nigeria’s disintegration, which was already on the edge of collapse.
The pro-Biafra faction branded the party’s failure to zone the presidential ticket to the South-East and subsequent retention to the Northern area as a huge betrayal, warning that it would not be accepted in Igboland.

This was mentioned in a statement issued by MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Comrade Edeson Samuel, on Friday in Enugu.
According to the group, “The people of the South-East and entire Igboland have been the political backbone of the Peoples Democratic Party from inception of her existence. It is a pity that our so-called Igbo political leaders and their Hausa paymasters from the PDP have betrayed Ndigbo again, we shall prove to them that the days of the PDP’s existence in the South-East are numbered.
“MASSOB, under the leadership of Comrade Uchenna Madu, declared PDP dead in Igboland. Ndigbo will never vote or support the PDP again. Our block votes and support will go to political parties that respect, uphold and protect the political, economical, academical, religious, cultural and social interests of Ndigbo in Nigeria.”
The group, however, warned the APC not to deny the South-East region their presidential ticket or they shall be banished in Igboland.

“Ndigbo shall no longer tolerate political neglect and mesmerisation; enough is enough.
“2023 would have been an opportunity to redeem and save this geographical expression called Nigeria from dismemberment by zoning the presidential tickets to the South-East region but denying the people of the region the same zoning privilege and rights that other regions have enjoyed will bring irreparable doom to Nigeria,” MASSOB stated.
