National Director of Information of the MASSOB faction, Comrade Uchenna Madu, in a statement made available to journalists in Enugu, said the youths are ready to lay down their lives for the sake of ‘freedom’.
“Biafra agitators are more determined to sacrifice our shops, businesses, jobs, comfort and even the supreme price for the sake of our freedom,” Madu said.
“Factional MASSOB totally condemned Fr. Mbaka’s insensitive statement against Biafra.
“His position on Biafra is misguided, so selfish and shameful – how can a revered Igbo clergyman descend so low in making such a condemnable statement few days after Buhari’s wife visited him?,” Madu said.
“Many Igbo clergymen including the catholic priests are not in support of Fr. Mbaka’s government paid anti comment on Biafra.”
“This is why the Igbo youths and other citizens have lost confidence and trust on many Igbo leaders in Nigeria,” he added.
Madu expressed regrets that Mbaka chose to speak out against the pro-Biafra agitation despite the fact that the agitators patronized his satchet and bottled water products while marching on the streets in the course of the protests.
“Fr. Mbaka’s business boomed as the protests last,” Madu noted.
