“The political arm of the Biafran struggle, the Movement of Biafrans in Nigeria (MOBIN) has hinted that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will get the full support of agitators and those who believe in the struggle. The disclosure was made by the Group’s Director of Media and Mobilization, Comrade ThankGod Ofoelue.”
The Governing Council did not give any approval for such a weighty political statement to be made on behalf of MOBIN. We see the publication as reckless and damaging to the image of MOBIN.
