The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has alleged that the President Muhammadu Buhari government wants to rig the 2019 elections.
MASSOB also claimed that Buhari will be the last leader of the country, calling on all Igbo political aspirants to halt their plans for the 2019 elections.
In a statement on Tuesday, MASSOB said the election will be a continued political domination by Hausa-Fulani.
“We see the coming political exercise as the continuation of our political, religious, academical, traditional, social and economic slavery in Nigeria,” the statement said.
“It is a continuation of Islamic caliphate’s agenda against the people of Biafra and Christians in general. It is also a continuation of relegating the Igbo people to third class citizens.
“What happened in Ekiti state will be a child’s play compared to the manipulations, intimidations, assaults, riggings, and killings that will be masterminded and executed by the federal government in 2019.”
It added that “The Buhari led federal government has already perfected plans with his brother in charge of INEC to rule this political entity called Nigeria by all means.
“MASSOB wishes to commend South East Senators for their protest against lopsided appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“It is a welcome development, it is a protest against injustice, a protest against marginalization, a protest against intimidation, a protest against religious fanaticism and a protest against tribalism.
“However Igbo senators should have known that their protest cannot change the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari who hates Ndigbo with passion.”
Furthermore, it said, “That is why MASSOB is calling the Igbo politicians and those aspiring to join [the] political train to re-think and support the emancipation of Ndigbo and Biafra.
“Participating in this election is as good as selling the future of our children and next generation to parasitic Hausa Fulani people.”
