According to the Punch news paper,the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra yesterday thursday threatened to make Nigeria ungovernable if the Federal Government failed to conduct a referendum in the South East.MASSOB and other pro-Biafra groups,including the Indigenous People of Biafra,are demanding a referendum in the region to enable the people decide,through voting whether they wish to secede,or remain in Nigeria.The Biafra activists claim that majority of people in the region would vote in favour of a separation from Nigeria.In a statement which was made available to pressmen in Enugu,MASSOB said it had concluded plans,with other pro-Biafra groups,to disrupt governance in the country,if the Federal Government would not conduct the referendum.The National Director Information,MASSOB,Samuel Edeson,who signed the statement,said the agitators would fight the Federal Government with everthing at their disposal.He said the group intended to instigate civil disobedience,and strikes,particularly in the South-East and Lagos.Edeson said ''MASSOB and other pro-Biafra agitators will make Nigeria ungovernable if the Nigerian government failed to conduct referendum in Eastern Nigeria.We are going to call for sit at home in all Biafran land and Lagos''.The MASSOB spokesman further spoke of plans by the group to drag former President Olusegun Obasanjo to the International Criminal Court for atrocities he allegedly committed against Biafrans since 1970,as well as other crimes.One more photo below.
