2023 Presidential Elections Is A Distraction To The South-East

In a phone interview with a PUNCH correspondent, the Director of Information for the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Sunday Okereafor, advised the people of the South-East to stay away from the 2023 presidential election.

The movement believes that it would be hard for an Igboman or woman to come out as a victor in the elections.

Mr. Okereafor said that through the years following the civil war, the presidential elections held in the country have not been in the favor of Ndigbo.

He explained, ‘’The Igbo are already thinking of 2023. Some of them are preparing to contest the 2023 presidential election. They should forget it because it is a gamble that can never work.

‘’The fact is that there has been a gang-up against Ndigbo that they will never get to the position. The gang-up has been there for the past 50 years and there is nothing anybody can do about it.’’

He also added that the fight to break free from Nigeria and consolidate into the Biafran State will continue, and that the 2023 elections was just a distraction to the South-Easterners.
