THE Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra is not interested in the restructuring of Nigeria, but a complete secession from Nigeria.

MASSOB’s recent statement is coming on the heels of President Muhammadu Buhari’s warning that his government would not tolerate any agitation for the division of the country.

Sunday Okereafor, MASSOB’s,  national director for nformation,  explained that the movement would never be intimidated into dropping the struggle for Biafra.

Okereafor pointed out that MASSOB began the struggle 18 years ago with agreement that its agitation would be non-violence.

He decried a situation where its members were tagged miscreants, maintaining that it was wrong for those seeking for a Biafran nation to be given bad names.

“We don’t want restructuring. There is a difference between restructuring and what we stand for; it is Biafra or nothing. MASSOB supporters and members are not miscreants. Nobody should describe us as miscreants because our style of agitation is  not violence. – Punch
