The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra, MASSOB, has said the Operation Python Dance embarked on by the
Nigerian military in the South East is a declaration of war against
Ndigbo.
This was made public in a statement yesterday by the National
Director of Information of MASSOB, Comrade Samuel Edeson, in Abakiliki.
MASSOB said the action of the military amounted to political declaration
of state of emergency in South-East geopolitical zone.
Edeson said the action of the military was intended to maim the
people of Biafra and prevent them from returning home for the Christmas
celebration.
Edeson said, “The leadership of the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, after our
National Executive meeting today at MASSOB headquarters, Okwe, Onuimo
Local Government Area, which also coincided with first anniversary of
the new leadership of MASSOB under our amiable leader, Comrade Uchenna
Madu condemned in totality the recent declaration by Nigerian Army of
Operation Python Dance in Biafra land.
“The meeting which was presided over by our leader, Comrade
Uchenna Madu at Okwe resolved as follows: ‘That Operation Python Dance
is another dimension of prosecution of war by Buhari-led administration
against Ndigbo. It also amounts to political declaration of state of
emergency in South-East states.
“That Army headquarters, with their ulterior negative motives,
started this annihilating operation on November 27, without any public
enlightenment and orientation in order to maim the people of Biafra.
“That the primary target and reason of this operation is not
against pro Biafra groups, as we have no public functions in this
Christmas season. It is against the people of Biafra, mostly the Igbo
during this Christmas period through intensive pressurized monetary
extortion, harassment, mesmerization and secret/extra judicial killings
of Ndigbo because of current Biafranization of Igboland and Ndigbo.
“That Christmas season is a period of Igbo gathering with much
concentration in Igboland, so to the military, it’s a fertile land and
opportunity for creating fears/tensions among our people which they
thought will derail the love, confidence and consciousness of Biafra.
“That this is an extension of Buhari-led administration’s
forceful islamisation of Igboland through military fears and religious
intimidation. This operation is also designed to demoralize the people
of Biafra from returning home for Christmas celebration.”
However, many people have commented that the occupation of the
military in the south east was unnecessary as they are needed more in
the north where Boko Haram is ravaging the people.
