The struggle for the sovereign state of Biafra has received a major boost as the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF) led by Alhaji Asari Dokubo, joined forces with the men from the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) in a bid to actualise the Biafran dream
Alhaji Dokubo announced the new alliance during this year’s Biafra Day celebration, organised by the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, at the Ojukwu Memorial Library and Conference in Owerri, which was attended by thousands of members of the two groups.
Dokubo and Uwazuruike assured their members at the ceremony that the actualisation of Biafra was near.
Alhaji Dokubo, who addressed the large crowd, said the South-South and the South-East no longer had Niger Delta or Igbo, but Biafra.
He assured MASSOB members that they would soon realise their dream for an independent state.
“We will soon complete the race. There is no need for you to be fatigued; the finishing line is not very far again. No power can stop our independence, our freedom is near,” he said, as the crowd went into wild jubilation.
He cautioned the new government of General Muhammadu Buhari on any attempt to arrest any freedom fighter in the country.
He advised the new President to rather, concentrate on his election promises, saying that very soon, they would rise up to hold him accountable to his words.
