Cracks In MASSOB As Uwazuruike Is Expelled, New Leader Sworn In

Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, yesterday swore in a new leadership for the movement after the national officers, including the zonal and regional administrators of the group, formally announced the expulsion of Chief Ralph Uwazuruike as MASSOB’s national leader.

The new leadership was headed by the group’s former National Director of Information, Uchenna Madu, while Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke emerged National Secretary.

The new leadership, at the well-attended ceremony in Okwe, Onuimo Local Government Area, warned Uwazuruike to stop parading himself as MASSOB’s leader or using Ojukwu’s name to dupe Ndigbo or garner personal fame to pursue his political ambition.

Reading the resolution and communiqué signed by the national officers and administrators at Okwe, MASSOB’s headquarters, the new national secretary stated that, “The development is to redeem and revive the lost spirit and confidence of the Biafran revolution in our people and Biafra’s friends and sympathizers.”

Uwazuruike, however, dismissed the allegation that MASSOB was behind the arrest of the Biafra Radio boss, adding that the movement cannot meddle into unnecessary matter.
