Igbos will not become president in Nigeria - MASSOB

MASSOB said Igbos are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria

The group said Nigeria is designed to sideline the Igbos

The Movement for the Actualisation of a Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB) has said that Igbos will not be allowed to be president in Nigeria even though they are the lifeline of the country.

The group in a statement on Tuesday, February 28 said Igbo are political slaves in Nigeria and would be allowed to rule.

The group said: “Igbo leaders are political slaves in Nigeria, The way Nigeria is structured politically, it will be very hard for Igbo man to be president of Nigeria.

The structure almost reduced Ndigbo to a minority tribe in Nigeria but history has always proved that Ndigbo is the largest ethnic nationality in Nigeria.

“Even though five states were accorded to Ndigbo in Nigeria but we are the largest ethnic group in every state after the indigenes of that state, in all the Nations of the world.

“Ndigbo are also the largest Nigerian ethnic nationality; even during the yuletide, all the states in Nigeria become temporal deserts and inhabitable because Ndigbo that make every state thick returned to their native hometowns.

“Even with our population and handshake with some geopolitical zones, it will be hard for the Igbo to be Nigerian president because there is a grand plot against Ndigbo in Nigeria. It will still be difficult for Igbo man to be president in Nigeria.”

MASSOB however said that “the only reason that will force Igbos to agree to Presidency was for Nigerians to support the actualisation struggle because that the only working panacea that attract regional interest to the presidency.”
