Go out and vote, no sit-at-home in South-East – MASSOB declares

The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has said there would be no sit-at-home or election boycott in the South-East region on Saturday, February 25, and urged Ndigbo to disregard any such calls.

While charging South-East residents to come out en mass on election day and vote for their preferred candidates, MASSOB warned against a repeat of the Imo State debacle, where, according to it, a governor was imposed against the will of the people.

This was contained in a statement on Wednesday through its National Director of Information, Samuel Edeson.

The statement read: “There shall be no sit-at-home on the days of elections. Do not allow anybody to deceive you in the name of Biafra, because we know the real Biafra agitators and those paid to create confusion in our land.

“MASSOB insists that election must hold in Igbo land because we cannot allow the enemies of Ndigbo to destroy our God-given land.

It is clear that some enemies of Ndigbo have bought over some of our brothers, brainwashed them and turned them against their own people, that’s why they went about killing our own people, destroying our economy and making life difficult for our people.

“MASSOB wish to make it clear that as we move on with the Biafra project, which is the restoration of the Independent State of Biafra, we will not allow Igbo land to remain in vacuum, that is why we advise Ndigbo to go out and vote for their preferred candidates on the 25th day of February 2023.

“Any group or persons saying that their shall be no election in Biafra land are enemies of Ndigbo, and should be disregarded. If you don’t vote that day, others will, and the enemies of Ndigbo will impose their puppet on our people just like what happened in Imo State.

“MASSOB has directed all her members to go and vote for all our candidates on the day of election.”
