Why South-East should not get VP slot – Biafra group



Image result for Atiku: Why South-East should not get VP slot – Biafra group



A statement on Monday by the BNYL leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard, said that the challenges facing the region were beyond the position of Vice Presidency.  The group stated this following the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has faulted those yearning for the South East geopolitical zone to be allowed the vice presidential slot ahead of the 2019 general election. Richard insisted that even if Atiku considers giving the VP slot to the Igbo, it will not solve the problems of the region.  He said.  I don’t see why South East and South South especially the Igbo should be jubilating over Atiku’s victory and expecting a VP slot from him. Atiku and Buhari are still protecting the interest of the north.  Although Atiku is more educated than Buhari and may understand that referendum is the solution to various separatist agitations across the nation, it baffles me that our people do not know that they are on the loosing end.  If you remove Buhari, he is a Fulani; you install Atiku, he is a Fulani. Some people say it is about PDP and APC, it is not. Those expecting power to return to the East in 2023 are dreaming and should continue to dream.  The group also called on the PDP leadership to get Atiku to  sign a bond that he will restructure Nigeria and organize referendum before he comes to campaign in the South East and South South  Richard recalled how northern leaders abandoned Jonathan to support Buhari in 2015, adding that Because the PDP policy now favours them, they have returned to secure their interest, we are not fools.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
