MASSOB issues warning against any plot to scuttle Anambra guber polls
The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State Of Biafra, MASSOB, has declared total support for the conduct of the Anambra State governorship election in November.
The pro-Biafra group spoke while warning against any plot to scuttle the governorship election.
MASSOB said the warning was in view by a directive issued on social media by some disgruntled and sponsored persons residing in diaspora.
It accused the said individuals of “unleashing their personal minded narratives using the pro-Biafra activism to create political instability and chaos in Igbo land by trying to use the upcoming Anambra governorship election as a yardstick.”
This was contained in a statement made available to journalists on Wednesday, signed by Comrade Uchenna Madu, Leader of MASSOB.
The pro-Biafra group said, “MASSOB will never allow this deceit to scale through.
“Several times during elections in the south east, they always came up with this sympathetic deceit of sit-at-home, with claims that such futile exercise enhances Biafra actualization but MASSOB always countered and stopped them. This time they will fail.”
It warned 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 “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.
“MASSOB members and other pro Biafra groups are coming out to participate in the election with our massive support to the competent and credible candidate that is full of Igbo blood.
“MASSOB also encourages the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to go ahead without distraction in conducting the governorship election
“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
“MASSOB advises 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.
“That MASSOB position does not mean derailment of the Biafra self-determination for actualization and restoration.
“We must always consider the overall interest of Ndigbo first before a group or individual interest,” the statement concluded.
The governments of Abia and Imo States have announced the launching of a joint security taskforce and surveillance along the Aba-Owerri expressway, starting from Owerrinta in Abia State all the way to Owerri, Imo State.
The launch followed recent attacks by criminals on the expressway, including kidnapping, armed robbery and other criminal activities.
The formation of the joint security taskforce and surveillance was announced by Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special Adviser to Governor Alex Otti on Media and Publicity.
His statement read in part: “Arising from a strategic emergency security meeting held today, 4th December, 2025, by the Governors of Abia and Imo Sates at the Imo State Government Owerri House, His Excellency Governor Alex Otti and His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodinma resolved to set up a joint security Taskforce that shall consist of Soldiers, Naval Personnel, Police Officers , DSS Personnel, and other Government Security Agencies.
“The joint security Taskforce shall, starting from tomorrow 5th December 2025, patrol the road 24 hours nonstop, while carrying out massive surveillance in the surrounding bushes using sophisticated drones and other modern security equipment.”
According to the statement, Governor Alex Otti commended the Governor of Imo State for arresting the criminals who carried out an attack on His advanced team and other passengers a few days ago.
“The two Governors, while assuring citizens plying the road on a daily basis and those returning home for Christmas of their safety and security, warn that there would be severe consequences for any criminal caught on the road going forward”, Ekeoma concluded.
