MASSOB faction asks Uwazuruike to return property

Following the renaming of his faction of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), to Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), another factional leadership of the group has asked by Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, to hands off the affairs of Igbo selfproclamation group. Rising from an emergency meeting at MASSOB headquarters in Okwe, Onuimo council area of Imo State, presided over by Comrade Uchenna Madu, the group stressed that Uwazuruike remained expelled from MASSOB.It noted that more revelations have emerged on the activities of the former leader of the group which indicated that he was not fully committed to its cause.

In a statement signed by Samuel Edeson, MASSOB’s National Director of Information, the group said: “After the investigations on the activities of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike when he presided over the affairs of MASSOB, alongside recommendations and resolutions adopted after the probe, Uwazuruike shall be issued an ultimatum to return every property of MASSOB in his possession” The group which described as laughable, Uwazuruike’s move to form a new group, observed that it was a pity that their erstwhile leader who often lambasted deserters of the group, could at this point leave MASSOB simply because he was sanctioned for his misdeeds.

“Uwazuruike’s actions have repeatedly shown that he is not in the struggle to serve but to be served”, the statement read. The statement maintained that MASSOB shall remain non-violent and more focused on the prime objective for which it was founded and not be distracted by petty arguments and insinuations from persons who merely seek revive lost relevance
