The Movement for the Update of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has urged Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to resign from the role on the suspected “well-orchestrated plan to publicly subjugate and humiliate him while the president watches on.”
MASSOB, in a statement issued by its National Leader, Uchenna Madu, on Saturday, said that the professor of law should at least “protect his head.”
MASSOB responded to President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to sign the Deep Offshore Bill in London with the participation of his Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and the firing of some assistants attached to the vice president’s office.
The group said: “The act of signing a bill in faraway London smacks of irresponsible leadership and a denigrating act of sabotage against Nigeria’s sovereignty.
“And of course, it implies that Buhari may not be coming back any time soon.
“Buhari seeks to regulate the overseas travel of his cabinet members, yet he is always found overseas at the slightest excuse.
“Osinbajo’s aides had been run out of the Presidential Villa and Osinbajo could not lift a finger; now we hear that their access to the Presidential Villa has been restricted and there is nothing they can do about it with a hideous cabal actively running the presidency.
“Osinbajo, a professor of law, should save his face at least; and if there is any self dignity and integrity left, he should be bold enough to walk away from such well-orchestrated plot to subjugate and humiliate him publicly while the president watches on.
“This is yet another proof that the Fulani oligarchy has used the Yorubas to clinch power. And it is obvious that they will never relinquish power to any Yoruba man. Osinbajo should tread the path of honour and resign now if he really has some integrity in him, or they will run him out.”
