Uwazuruike Renames MASSOB – See The New Name

The leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, suprisngly, renamed the group, Biafra Independent Movement, BIM.

Chief Uwazuruike, while making the announcement on Sunday at a press conference in Owerri, said, “The change in name became absolutely necessary because of the sad introduction of violence by the disgruntled dissidents and this is at variance with the non-violence stance of MASSOB over the years.”

Recalling how he recruited Nnamdi Kanu in 1989, to head Radio Biafra, Chief Uwazuruike said, “I recruited Nnamdi Kanu in 1989, when I established Radio Biafra and appointed him the director of the establishment. He started preaching hatred and brainwashing the youths. MASSOB sacked him.”
