Dead or Alive: Biafra is a Must!

Recently, members of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) raised an alarm that security agencies in Nigeria have concluded plans to assassinate Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, their leader. The plot was reportedly hatched even while Chief Uwazuruike himself traveled out of the country to the United States of America (USA) to attend the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of America. Uwazuruike, KlinReports learnt, was one of the few African statesmen Obama personally invited to attend his enthronement. Even now, Uwazuruike is yet to return to the country, yet the plot to murder him thickens. KlinReports sought out (overseas sojourning) Uwazuruike on his mobile telephone handset concerning the current alleged plan to eliminate him. Excerpts:

There are reports that a plot has been hatched to assassinate you. What are you doing about your security?
I am not doing anything about my security. If Nigerian government wants to kill me, let they go ahead and kill me. There is insecurity in Nigeria. Who is there to protect me? Is it the State Security Service (SSS)? Is it the police? Or is it the army or the federal government? After-all, they have killed A.K Dikibo; they killed Marshal Harry; they killed Bola Ige; they killed Ken Saro Wiwa. They have killed so many people. They can go ahead to kill me if they like. I traveled out of Nigeria. I wasn’t around but I learnt they planned to assassinate me.

But what could have been the reason for any assassination plot on you this time around?
They feel that by mere mentioning of Biafra, I have committed treason. So, why won’t they plot my death? Simply because I mentioned Biafra, they charged me with treasonable felony. If they charged me with treasonable felony for campaigning for the Republic of Biafra, and hauled into detention for a long time, why would they not plan to assassinate me?

MASSOB has been prosecuting its Biafra agenda on stages. At what stage now is the organization in its Biafra pursuit?
We are now on the international level. I have been traveling round the whole world canvassing support for the sovereign state of Biafra. So, we are on the international stage of the Biafran struggle.

You reportedly traveled to the US to witness the Inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th president of America. What was the experience like to you?
The Barrack Obama episode is very important to us because it reinforces that with God all things are possible. Before now, during the time of Martin Luther King, nobody thought that a black man would ever be the president of America. But today, a black man is the president of America. It goes to show that with a non-violent organization like us, the ultimate aim must be achieved. The only thing is time. Therefore, I want the people of Biafra to know that at the end of the whole struggle, Biafra nation must be realized, just like a black man eventually emerged American president.
