Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), a constitutional lawyer and Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption has given a stern warning to Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). The Senior Advocate of Nigeria on Sunday, January 10, warned MASSOB members against declaring independence on February 20, 2016. Recall that leader of MASSOB, Ralph Uwazuruike had announced plans to set up a parallel government in the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones. He said elections would hold on February 20 into wards, provinces, districts, regions and zones of the South-East and South-South, which he declared as Biafran territories. According to him, Biafra would also introduce its currency, the “Biafran Pound.” Uwazuruike had also expressed optimism that the Biafran National Electoral Commission would hold a credible election. Sagay in his warning said such an act would amount to treason which is a grievous crime, adding that any election that is not constitutional is tantamount to overthrowing the government in power. “That (proposed election) is sheer treason because the constitution is very clear that you cannot come to power other than through the provisions of the constitution. So, anybody doing that now is not only breaching the constitution but is also committing treason. “They will all be rounded up and detained and charged. And let no one cry on their behalf and make noise about human rights because if you want to overthrow the state, you should know that anything can happen after that and you will face the consequences,” he said. Prof. Sagay recently hinted that Biafran agitation became so intense after the immediate past administration of president Goodluck Jonathan because the Igbos are trying to intimidate President Muhammadu Buhari into ceding positions they do not merit. The lawyer also disclosed that he received insults and death threats from Igbo people for expressing his opinion on the renewed agitation for Biafra republic.

A word is enough for the wise...and a blackened and apologetic albino is enough for even the daft.

Funny source still.

Attack the message not the messenger.

Uwazurike might mess everything up. I don't know what he's trying to do now,he is not military,he's not a militant,then what is he trying to achieve now. This might scuttle IPoB plans.

Who's attacking? Lol.

The message is clear whether said or unsaid, because Kanu's current travails is enough to knock sense into any silly secessionist.

With or without kanu,what will be will be!

Of course. Were you thinking otherwise?

Another problem is that Uwazurike has a long standing history of corruption-everybody knows he sold out. He'll likely bring corruption into the whole thing-something I wouldn't bother about if IPoB were in charge. Uwazurike should just get lost!

**grins** What constitutional document is Sirgay actually quoting? Is it that toilet paper that Buhari gave Aisha to wipe her abokkii ass with? The same useless constitution Buhari dullado has no respect for? lmao! **grins**

.

We are gladly waiting for Feb 20.

I hope the gully eroded part of the land of the dawning sun will not be filled up with body bags of rebels.

No one is against creation.of Biafrau.d but you must go through the proper channel.

Anarchy will begat Anarchy

Madness will definitely begat madness too.

Take this to the bank: The 2nd _biafraud war will be between IPOB against MASSOB

I wonder what South Africa would have been like if Mandela had this kind of your mentality and chickened out.. Coward!

Don't warn the Biafrans. The consequences of Ojukwu's failed Biafran war will be a kid's play.

my people and foolishness.... Uwazurike should get lost already.... Trying to gain relevant.... He lost his followers to less corrupt group... He should deal with it

What is this mans problem

Gbam!

Nwazurike or whatever is only trying to outdo his suddenly more popular local attention seeker...he dares not try it...

I'm tired of this man. He might single-handedly ruin everything,I can't understand what Uwazurike is getting at. Let's wait and see.
