Beware of Obasanjo, MASSOB tells Igbo

Awka — THE Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), yesterday, warned Igbo people, especially the political class, to be wary of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, arguing that his recent romance with Igbo states is very suspicious. Olusegun Obasanjo MASSOB leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said in a statement in Awka that Obasanjo had never hidden his dislike of the Igbo and wondered why he suddenly saw the need to be speaking in their favour. Madu said: “Obasanjo’s current political antics, romance and friendship in Igbo land is very dangerous to the political survival of Ndigbo in Nigeria. During his eight-year tenure as President of Nigeria, he consciously and willfully created political obstacles for Ndigbo. “He initiated several political frustrations against Abia, Anambra, Enugu and Imo states during the tenures of Orji Uzor Kalu, Chinwoke Mbadinuju and Chimaraoke Nnamani. “Obasanjo deliberately ignored Igbo land, leaving the area without infrastructural development. He witch-hunted our people politically and mesmerized Ndigbo by changing Igbo Senate presidents at will. “During his eight-year rule, he never visited Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu or showed concerns to his position as Igbo leader. “Obasanjo, as an enemy of Ndigbo, hated former President Goodluck Jonathan because of his brotherly treatment to Ndigbo. Jonathan did not see Ndigbo as a conquered people, but appreciated and acknowledged their leadership qualities and industrious nature. “During Jonathan’s tenure as Nigeria’s President, Ndigbo, for the first time, occupied key principal political positions, like Minister of Finance, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Petroleum Minister, Inspector General of Police, Chief of Army Staff, etc, and he upgraded Enugu Airport, which Obasanjo vehemently and wickedly opposed because of his pathological hatred against Biafra land. “Also during President Jonathan’s tenure, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was given due attention and his family was recognized such that a national burial befitting of a gallant military leader was accorded him. “We are, therefore, wondering why Igbo governors of Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu states are celebrating him by inviting him to commission projects in their respective states.” Forums

Barcelona will name its new coach on May 29, two days after the Copa del Rey final, president Josep Bartomeu confirmed on Sunday after the club’s title chase came up short. Reports in the Barcelona media last week said the club have already agreed a two-year deal with Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde. Luis Enrique said in March he will be leaving the club after the season, and Bartomeu confirmed the timeline for announcing his replacement. “We thank Luis Enrique for the effort he has put in the demands he placed on himself. The door is open. Now we have the Copa,” Bartomeu said. “On May 29, we have a board meeting and we will announce the name of the new coach after.” Asked about Valverde, Bartomeu only said: “”He is a coach who is out of contract in the summer.” Real Madrid finished atop the table in La Liga, three points above second-placed Barcelona, who will still contest the cup final against Alaves on Saturday. “Obviously we congratulate the champions and our players for ...
