MASSOB Women
Director for Anambra North, Amaka Okafor while briefing newsmen after they rose
from a closed door meeting with the regional administrators and other top
MASSOB members, yesterday in Onitsha.
Stated that …………
Chief Ralph
Uwazurike-led Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra,
MASSOB, has warned that Ndigbo will not tolerate further marginalization in
Nigeria, urging President Muhammadu Buhari to address the issue without further
delay.
The women at a protest without placards chanted anti- Igbo marginalization and Federal Government songs, saying they have resolved to embark on prayer, through the service of prayer warriors in their bid to actualize the cause of Ndigbo.
Okafor said:
“We will use this month of August women meeting to pray more fervently as we
have embarked on prayer session throughout Igbo land to ask God to help us
actualize our cause.
“We cannot
achieve this without fervent prayers and we ask our women in Igbo land to
ensure they use this August meeting of women to mobilize the women for the
prayer which will be headed by the prayer warriors we have employed.
“We have been
marginalized for about four decades and that prompted Chief Uwazurike to vow
that the marginalization must stop and actualizing a Biafran state is the only
way it will stop,” she said.
According to her, “ for the women to come out in their large number to speak against the injustice being meted out to Igbos by the Federal Government in Biafran land shows that they are fed up and can no longer tolerate it.
“It was for
this same reason that we had the Aba women riot of 1929 when the women
protested because they were asked to pay tax by the government and we said no
and today again, we saying no to the marginalization of the Igbo” she said.
Is not just Igbo women but all Nigeria Women.
