2023: MASSOB Gives Jonathan Serious Warning
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has warned Dr. Goodluck Jonathan against falling for what it has dubbed the conspiracy of the North to nudge him towards the 2023 bid. In 2023 MASSOB said it would be the turn of the Southeast and that Jonathan should as such not allow himself to be used to derail the aspiration of the Igbo.
The group also warned Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state to bury their presidential ambitions in 2023.
MASSOB said the move was “a dangerous systematic way of creating and re-establishing another political discord among the people of old eastern region”.
The group in a statement by the leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu called all the political parties to ensure that their presidential ticket is given to credible South Easterners as a way of ensuring equity, justice and fairness in the Nigeria project.
In 2023, MASSOB said it would be the turn of the Igbo and hence that Jonathan should steer clear.
“Former President Goodluck Jonathan and his Ijaw kinsmen should be wise enough to discern this subtle and hypocritical move of Arewa Governors. The Sultan of Sokoto, the Aso villa cabals, the frontline emirs, the Arewa opinion leaders and Islamic gurus both Nigerians and foreigners, are perfectly aware and systematically pushing for a Goodluck Jonathan one tenure administration.
“Their ultimate political aim is to sideline and frustrate the golden chances of Igbo man or Southeast zone to emerge as president of Nigeria.
“Former President Goodluck Jonathan and his Ijaw kinsmen should avoid and discard this destructive and political end of Ijaw ethnic nationality in Nigeria. The people of Southeast and the indigenous Igbo in South South region have always support the Ijaws, particularly on the presidency of Goodluck Jonathan during his political travails in the hands of Arewa leaders.
“MASSOB also warns Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state to bury their presidential ambitions in 2023 because it is solely and sacrosanct for the Southeast zone to produce the next president of Nigeria.
“It is not about sentiment or selfishness to support the Southeast zone; it is the turn of Southeast zone to produce the next president of Nigeria according to the zoning arrangement.
