“MASSOB will not be against the visit of President Buhari to Ebonyi state. We are making these two major demands as part of our own contribution to peace as being clamoured by well meaning citizens.
“MASSOB requests President Muhammadu Buhari to facilitate and ensure that one of the many southeast presidential aspirants succeeds him in 2023, to help the country diffuse many bottled anger which has fuelled agitations.
“MASSOB also reminded President Muhammadu Buhari that continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in DSS custody, will only worsen the security challenges facing the country, it will also continue to affect the economy”, he said.
