Edeson said, “MASSOB and other pro-Biafran agitators will make Nigeria ungovernable if the Nigerian government failed to conduct a referendum in the eastern part of Nigeria.
“We shall use everything at our disposal to fight the Nigerian government, especially through civil disobedience.We are going to call for ‘sit at home’ in all Biafran land and Lagos.
“MASSOB will drag Obasanjo to ICC for all the atrocities he committed against Biafrans since 1970, the massacre of Odi people, the Tiv/Jukun killings, the massacre of MASSOB members in Aba, Okigwe and Onitsha, and the killing of six Igbo traders (Apo six),” Edeson said.
He added that they would take the demand for the referendum to some foreign embassies in Abuja, including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia and China, very soon. He urged the people of the old Eastern Region, as well as natives of parts of Kogi and Benue states, who the activists believed share in the wish to secede from Nigeria, to come out en masse and rally to press home the demand for the referendum.
Edeson revealed the planned rallies would hold soon, adding that the agitators were ready to go to jail if they were arrested in the course of the exercise.
“The Inspector-General of Police, the Department of State Services, and the Chief of Army Staff should make their prisons wide-open because what happened in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and Syria is going to happen here very soon, because MASSOB would be taking her campaign to the American, British, French, Chinese and Russian embassies in Abuja.
“MASSOB, therefore, calls on all the people of old Eastern Region, Delta, parts of Kogi and Benue states to support the referendum that would soon take place in Biafra land, because our freedom is non-negotiable,” he added.
