Chukwuma said that Biafra cannot be wished away so long as Ndigbo are still being neglected and marginalised in the Nigerian state.
The fiery cleric said that it was nonsensical for Obasanjo to say that the Biafran agitators have commercialised the cause without him, an elder statesman proffering solutions on how Igbo marginalisation would end.
Chukwuma, who is also the Anglican Bishop of Enugu said that in as much as he does not support the printing of a Biafran Passport, he believes that the youths who are protesting were provoked to do so by the long years of marginalisation of the Igbo.
He said that Obasanjo should be sincere to himself as he did not improve the lot of the Igbo when he was president.
In the sane vein, the leader of Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Solomon Chukwu, said that the former president was talking nonsense.
According to him, MASSOB was not going to compromise the struggle for the actualization of Biafra through non-violent means.
He said: “ We know where we are going. Chief Obasanjo is talking nonsence. Whether the likes of Obasanjo like it or not, very soon Biafra will be a reality. We are not ignorant people as he said. We know what we are doing and very soon we will get there.
“ We are about to hold elections, and committee is about to be set up to draw the modalities for the elections. So we know what we are doing”.
