The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra, MASSOB, has warned the nation about the possibility of another
civil war over the incessant killings of Ndigbo in the Northern part of
the country.
MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike who
issued the warning while reacting to Monday bomb blast at a motor park
in Kano stated that Ndigbo would be forced to defend themselves from the
recent killings in various parts of the North. Uwazurike noted
that the Igbo had been pushed to the wall by the Boko Haram insurgency,
adding that the people would be left with no other option than rise to
the occasion to defend themselves.
He said: “I am ready to declare
another civil war in this country if this killings and other senseless
activities on Ndigbo continue like this because I know that it was this
type of massacre that brought about the first civil war in Nigeria.”
“I
am disappointed in our people, because when they were being
slaughtered, I brought out buses to bring them home, but they refused to
come home and keep living in the North.
“What I did was to
safeguard their lives because their lives were in danger. But I want to
warn President Goodluck Jonathan that there is limit to everything.
Ndigbo can no longer continue to allow themselves to be senselessly
killed in the North.
“We are not cowards because I believe that it
was this type of senseless killings that prompted the civil war and we
are aware of the consequences of the ongoing provocation, but I must
warn, that Ndigbo are not cowards and will react if pushed to the walls
because there is limit to everything,” he said.
Meanwhile, it was
gathered that five luxury buses belonging to Gobison, Ezenwata and
Chimezie transport companies were affected in the bomb blasts.
