“MASSOB will never allow this deceit to scale through.
Several times during elections in south east, they always come up with this sympathetic deceit of sit at home during election days with claims that such futile exercise enhances Biafra actualization but MASSOB always countered and stop them. This time they will fail”
“MASSOB warns anti pro Biafra activists including those hiding in diaspora to stay clear of Biafra Land now”
“MASSOB assured residents of Anambra State that the November 8, governorship election in Anambra State must hold because we have gone a long way underground mobilizing and sensitizing the state residents including members of pro Biafra groups to engage in the upcoming governorship election”
Madu announced that all legitimate pro Biafran organizations are coming out take part in the coming election noting that the election is to the benefit of the people of Igbo land.

“That having studied the political, economical, religious and social implications of not having a credible election in Anambra State and the political instability and chaos that may erupt, we insist that the Anambra State governorship election must be peaceful and credible”
*That MASSOB advised the people of Anambra State and other residents in the state to exercise their fundamental and constitutional rights of choosing their next governor because Anambra political space will never be in vacuum”
“That MASSOB position on Anambra governorship election is for the interest of Ndigbo, we can never allow or give unfortunate legal room for outsiders to dictate our political and economic future”.

We must always consider the overall interest of Ndigbo first before a group or individual interest” he noted.
