The Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has expelled its national leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike.
On Monday, November 30, at a ceremony attended by national officers including the zonal and regional administrators of the group, they inaugurated a new leadership for the Biafra movement, The Nation reports.
Uchenna Madu, the group’s former national director of information was made the new leader while Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke, emerged as national secretary.
A resolution and communiqué signed by the national officers and administrators at Okwe, MASSOB’s Headquarters, was read by Madu.
The communiqué read: “A vote of no confidence and total rejection has been passed on Ralph Uwazuruike. His inability to sustain and maintain Ojukwu’s dream of Biafra actualization, his deviation into the mainstream of Nigerian politics and using the Biafra struggle to enhance his selfish political ambition in Nigeria are the reasons for our rejection of his association with Biafra struggle.”
The group warned Uwazuruike to stop parading himself as MASSOB leader.
According to Madu, this action was to redeem and revive the lost spirit and confidence of the Biafra revolution in the minds of the people.
Recently, the group issued a warning to Igbo leaders, threatening to take measures if they fail to guide their utterances against the Biafra agitation.
