The South-South Progressive Coalition has distanced itself from the struggle for the actualization of the republic of Biafra, calling it a delusionary quest.
The group in a statement has warned the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) to stop including the Niger Delta region in their fraudulent activities.
President-General of SSPC, Amuna Success said the group has learnt that those funding IPOB/MASSOB are highly placed politicians and businessmen who have choice property and investment in the same Nigeria they want to secede from.
“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.
“We are therefore alarmed that the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), not satisfied with sabotaging their region’s economy and punishing their own poor people, are drawing up maps of their phantom Biafra Republic in which they included the South-South. Nothing can be sicker than this. It is delusion taken too far and one that must be addressed immediately lest it graduates into madness.
