South-South Progressive Coalition (SSPC) comprising the Niger-Delta states has distanced themselves from the Biafra agitation.
This was contained in a statement issued on June 1st by the President of the South-South Progressive Coalition, Amuna Success.
The union comprising the ethnic nationalities in the oil-rich region warned the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) and Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) to delete forthwith the Niger Delta region from the proposed map of Biafra adding that they would go on their own instead of inclusion into Biafra.
Recall the Idoma National Forum also held a similar position by distancing itself from the proposed state of Biafra.This is coming barely 24 hours after the Idoma National Forum distanced the Idoma people.
Below is the statement issued by the President-General of SSPC, Amuna Success.
“Much as we were alarmed that this avenue for ventilating deep-seated ethnic frustration was being hijacked by desperate thugs, we continue 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, includes 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.”
