The leader of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has described the director of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu as a betrayer and a serial blackmailer. According to Vanguard, Uwazuruike stated this while reacting to claims that he compromised and slipped back in the pursuit for actualization of Biafra.
“The impression being created was that someone paid me to stop the struggle. This is unfair. Or do people expect me to start fighting Nnamdi Kanu? Or do people think you are fighting for Biafra when you kneel down in public places to make show? How can anybody hold the view that I am a sell-out?"
“I set up Radio Biafra in 1999 and handed it over to Nnamdi Kanu for the good of the struggle, but what did I get in return? Someone I employed used the radio station I set up to blackmail me. Where did I go wrong? And if you were to be Uwazuruike, what will you do under such a situation? If I didn’t set up MASSOB, how could Nnamdi Kanu have had a platform to start what he is doing?”
The leader of MASSOB lamented that despite his efforts to frustrate the recent call for eviction of Igbos from the North, supporters of IPOB have continued to malign him “Only last month, I risked my life to travel to the North for the sake of Biafra and I was at Arewa House in Kaduna where I met people, yet the media and Igbo people do not appreciate my sacrifices. How would you feel if you are to be in my position?” he queried
