The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra has said that Nigeria must break into six independent parts to put an end to bloodshed in some parts of the country.

MASSOB declared that for Nigerians to enjoy peace, the South-West, South-East, South-South, North-East, North-West and the North-Central should be prepared to go their separate ways.

The National Director of Information for the movement, Mr Sunday Okereafor, told The PUNCH in a telephone interview on Sunday that the South-South and South-East would be together as a country.

Explaining that Fulani herdsmen were currently in the entire eastern part of the country and waiting for the appropriate time to strike, Okereafor added that Arewa, the Middle Belt and other major ethnic groups in Nigeria had begun to consider breaking away.

He said, “Nigeria should divide into six parts – the North-West, North Central, North-East, South-West, South-East and South-South.

“That is the only way forward, because the country is no longer safe. For 60 years now, there is no achievement. What we see is killing every day. The best thing to do is for the South-East to go; Arewa should go; the North-East, the North Central and the South-West should go their separate ways to avoid more bloodshed.

“We have an agreement with Niger Delta group. They came recently. We welcomed Tompolo and Asari Dokubo and other groups. We welcome the Arewa and welcome the Middle Belt and the Yoruba.

“Some Yoruba are now speaking about the Yoruba nation. We are happy about what they are saying and we are saying Nigeria must break into six entities. They (Yoruba) are now speaking about their own proposal, saying that Yoruba, Arewa, Niger Delta and the Middle Belt should go their separate ways.”
