The clamour for the rebirth of the defunct Biafra Republic, received another deadly blow on Thursday, as another ethnic group has distanced itself from the agitation.
The South-South Progressive Coalition, has therefore, warned the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, to stop including the Niger Delta region in their fraudulent activities.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the Idoma National Forum, also distanced itself from the claim by the secessionist groups, that the Idoma community was part of the Biafra territory.
Adding its voice to the call for a one and united Nigeria, the South-South Progressive Coalition on Thursday, said the ongoing call by few persons for the resuscitation of Biafra, was comical and worthless.
President-General of the SSPC, Amuna Success, said the group has learnt on good authority, that those funding IPOB/MASSOB, are highly placed Politicians and Businessmen, who have choice properties and investments in the same Nigeria they want to secede from.
According to him: “Much as we were alarmed that this avenue for ventilating deep seated ethnic frustration was being hijacked by desperate thugs, we continued to maintain a measured silence, because we thought it unfair to stifle the spirit of our Ndigbo brothers, even when we were well aware from the onset of their delusionary quest.
“Delusionary, because in the South-South we have seen our share of how genuine agitation for improved quality of life can be hijacked by common criminals, used to threaten the country, and ultimately enrich themselves, both at the expense of the struggle and of the populace.
“Our experience in this case, include the collective agitation for resource control, responsible attitude towards the environment in the course of oil exploration, and empowerment of the local population to get employment in the industries that operate in the fatherland. Today, all we have to show for the agitation are the self-appointed Militant Generals and Traditional Rulers, who became rich from the blood the rest of us shed in the hope of securing a better deal for our homeland. If anything came of these struggles, we do not feel the benefit.”
The SSPC, said that even if the South-South should excise itself from Nigeria today, it would only, “amplify other differences, whereby we then begin to think as Kalabari, Urhobo, Itshekiri, Ijaw, Ikwere, Anang, Efik, and the dozens other ethnic dematerialization we are structured into.
