Ojukwu's Spirit Is Backing Pro-Biafra Protests

This much was revealed by Chief Chris Uche, a chieftain of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) in Owerri on Thursday, November 26, 2015 at the third memorial anniversary of Ojukwu, who also stated that Biafra would be declared a sovereign state without the shedding of blood.

According to The Punch, Uche, who is a former commissioner of housing in Imo state, stated that those who died for the Biafran cause would never be forgotten.


Ojukwu gave us a template. He is still alive in our minds. Chief Uwazuruike’s yearly remembrance ceremony in his honour is bringing the time closer for the realisation of Biafra.

We shall keep the flag flying and we shall achieve it without shooting of gun,”he said.
Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB), who also spoke during the event, stated that the essence of the Ojukwu’s anniversary was to rekindle the consciousness of Biafra among the people.


According to him, MASSOB was a non-violent group but the Indigenous People of Biafra, which recently emerged, is beginning to go against the rules of MASSOB.


They (IPOB) believe that since MASSOB has not achieved Biafra through non-violent methods for 16 years, they will achieve it through violence.

They threatened fire and castigated some Igbo leaders,”Uwazuruike said, while also demanding the release of Radio Biafra director, Nnamdi Kanu.
