The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a hater of the Igbo nation.
The group made this known in a statement signed by its leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu and released on Monday.
Madu stated that the former president’s interactions with the Igbo nation were “camouflaged and hypocritical”.
He said Obasanjo confirmed his hatred of the Igbo nation by his failure to attend the burial ceremonies of Chukwuemeka Ojukwu and Dr Alex Ekwueme, two highly-respected Igbo leaders.
The statement read, “Obasanjo knows the truth that General Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was right in all his activities that involved Biafra, he knows the truth that Ndigbo were schemed out of political reality in Nigeria,
“Obasanjo knows this truth that he hates Biafra and her people, he also knows the truth that all his dealings with Ndigbo are all camouflaged and hypocritical.
“Olusegun Obasanjo openly without shame proved his pathological hatred and sadisms on Ndigbo when Eze Igbo Gburugburu died, Obasanjo did not attend the burial of Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and he did not send condolence.
“He always sees Ojukwu as his enemy even in death and whosoever that hates Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu hates Ndigbo; such a person can never be a friend to the people of Biafra, Ndigbo can never enter into alliance with such a hater.
“Again, Olusegun Obasanjo did not attend the burial of Dr Alex Ekwueme, former vice president of Nigeria, his absence during the week-long national burial of most distinguished national leader again proved his pathological hatred of Ndigbo. Obasanjo hates everything concerning Ndigbo.”
