The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, on Sunday, alleged that the numerous attacks being executed by the Fulani herdsmen in different parts of the country was part of the Northern Islamic agenda to forcefully Islamize the Eastern region, Christian minorities of the middle belt and seize their lands.
In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the leader of MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu explained that Nigeria is currently being viewed as an islamic country because of certain factors, including the implementation of the Sharia law through Nigeria constitution.
The statement read in part: “MASSOB in furtherance of Biafra restoration and revival of Biafra consciousness among the people of Biafra, wishes to expose more Northern Islamic agenda against our people which includes the forceful islamization of eastern region and Christian minorities of middle belt through Fulani herdsmen invasion and forceful seizure of our lands.
“Today, the world see Nigeria as an Islamic country with the attributes showcased on the cultural and native attires of her lawmakers and executives members of the cabinet and implementation of the Sharia law through Nigeria constitution.
“Below is some breakdown of the Hausa Fulani Islamic domination of the present Nigeria government administration.
“President -North, Senate President -North, Speaker House of Reps – North, PDP National Chairman – North, Head of Service – North, INEC Chairman – North, Chief Justice of federation – North, President Court of Appeal – North, EFCC Chairman – North, President Federal high court – North, National Security Adviser – North, Chief of Defense Staff – North, Chief of Naval Staff – North. “Controller, Customs Service – North, Defence Minister-North, MD Port Authority- North, MD NDIC – North, Controller Prison Services – North, Richest man in Africa – North, 85% of Petroleum Marketers in Nigeria – Northerners, 80% of Oil Block Owners in Nigeria – Northerners, 99% of beggars in Nigeria – Northerners, Boko Haram – North.
“Yet, the Poorest states in Nigeria and educationally backward areas in Nigeria are in the North. With these and other backwardness of the Northern Nigeria, MASSOB conclude that Hausa Fulani and other Islamic fundamentalists of the Northern Nigeria are archaic parasites to Nigeria growth”.
