Nigeria would split into different republics in 2023, says founder of Movement for Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Ralph Uwazuruike.
Uwazuruike revealed this yesterday in a press statement.
According to him, the South-East would be New Biafra, while the South-South would become Niger-Delta Republic, just as South-West and North-Central would be known as Oduduwa and Middle-Belt Republics respectively, leaving North-East and North-West as Arewa Republic.
According to him, “the obvious lack of trust in the relationship or union between the northern and southern Nigeria is too inexplicable that Nigerians cannot continue to co-exist as one nation.”
Uwazuruike added that “the faulty amalgamation of the northern and southern Nigeria in 1914 which expired since January 2014, also made it imperative that the country must surely break up in the near future, based on Biafran constitution which provided that any section of the country that is dissatisfied with the union will be at liberty to secede.
Thus, he called on Biafra leaders “to ensure that the federation is run in such a way that the citizens would be happy at all times and willing to belong to Biafra without being forced to do so.”
He insisted that “it was only in a corrupt country like Nigeria where illegality thrives that citizens are forced to live together and always show allegiance to the state.”
