UNGA 77: Nigeria hijacked by cabal-backed terrorists – Groups reply Buhari

As the 77th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) begins, certain organizations have spoken out over Nigeria.

The nation has been “hijacked by a conspiracy being sponsored by foreign terrorists,” according to a coalition of sociocultural and self-determination groups from the South and Middle Belt.

On Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke at the 77th session of the UNGA in New York.

Government has allegedly been grounded, according to a statement from the Oodua Peoples’ Sovereign Movement (OPSOM), Igbo National Council (INC), Middle Belt Patriotic Front (MBPF), Freedom from Nigeria (FFN), and others.

They claimed that because of a unitary constitution under a fictitious Federal State, the country’s economy was currently bleeding and gushing.

The organizations bemoaned how rebels enslave, oppress, and maim the majority of ethnic nationalities in an effort to seize their ancestral lands.

In a statement, spokesperson Dr. Ibrahim Yusuf said that state-sponsored terrorism had been used to seize control of the North and Middle Belt, while government-backed terrorists encircling the South had been hired specifically to seize property.

It emphasized that Nigeria’s democracy is currently plagued by insecurity, starvation, poverty, ransom kidnappings, and deteriorating infrastructure.

The 1999 constitution, according to the coalition, “is fake, a sanctuary for corruption, and a supporter of injustice.”

“Unless it is disabled and the country is subjected to a referendum for the indigenous people to decide on their sovereignty, peace and development will continue to elude the common man in Nigeria.

“Despite its claim as the giant of Africa, the economy of the country is now hemorrhaging and bleeding. The economy of Nigeria has turned majority of our young ladies who are graduates to prostitutes.

“We also wish to let the world know that terrorists and their negotiators now enjoy governance patronage and immunity in Nigeria.

“Terrorists masquerading as bandits kidnap for billions of ransoms and move untouched despite the thousands of armed military personnel mounting our roads in the North,” the group said.

It claimed that with more than five million displaced people, Nigeria was now a failed State and the continent’s main hub for internally displaced people (IDPs).

They emphasized that while the assailants of the massacres “are roaming around the streets,” Benue alone has over one million people in 27 camps within the State and more in Borno.

The declaration urged that foreigners “introduced into the country via RUGA be returned” and denounced the continuous assimilation of terrorists into society.

Additionally, it demanded that a referendum be held “so that those who never voted to be called Nigerians might decide on their sovereignty or pick the kind of governance they choose.”
