• Warning Against Titles: MASSOB stated that attempting to adopt the “Supreme Leader” title is a direct challenge to God and does not exist as an official leadership position within Biafraland.

• Impact on the Struggle: The group emphasized that the ongoing cycle of accusations and counter-accusations between IPOB factions is detrimental to the broader movement for Biafran self-determination and restoration.

• Appeal for Unity: MASSOB urged the IPOB leadership to cease the public infighting, stop damaging the organization’s reputation, and work toward a peaceful resolution to preserve the integrity of their shared cause.

• Clarification of Roles: While MASSOB acknowledged that the Biafra People National Council (BPNC) once recognized Nnamdi Kanu as the “arrowhead” of the struggle in 2017, they stressed that this did not equate to bestowing the title of “Supreme Leader” upon him.
