Movement
for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra/Biafra
Independence Movement (MASSOB/BIM) has said the self-acclaimed Prime
Minister of Biafra in exile, Finland-based Simon Ekpa is not fighting
for Biafra, but out to truncate the actualisation of the struggle.
Founder of the Movement, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike stated this in Aba at the weekend during the 25th anniversary of the pro-Biafra group.
Uwazuruike, represented by the Biafran Prime Minister, Ezinne Uwaezuoke Precious David, said Ekpa who claims to be the Prime Minister of Biafra in exile, cannot so be when he is preaching violence and not in touch with the situation at home.
He
insisted that the independence of Biafra can only be achieved through
non violence approach which MASSOB/BIM has been advocating since 1999.
“Simon Ekpa said he’s prime minister of Bịafra in exile. That’s his own way of seeing things. However, we believe that one must start from home to be good before going out there in the Diaspora.
“Whatever you’re doing outside remains an outside thing until you’re back at home. When you stay at home to do whatever you’re doing or saying, people will know you’re serious and you have a stake in the nation you’re trying to build. He’s on his own in exile, but I’m out home just as UNPO approved.”
“The young man is not fighting for the independence of Biafra; he is only causing confusion in the
land. On the proliferation of pro Biafra groups, Uwazuruike assured that the groups would soon come together because the independence of Biafra was at hand.
Precious David said
she became the Prime Minister of Bịafra this year and was recognition by
the UNPO, adding that if her election was not recognised by the UNPO,
it’ll not have been successful.
She used the occasion to reiterate the group’s insistence on non violence approach to the struggle, urging those who have taken to violence, to retrieve their steps.
The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, has claimed that its Finance Minister, Ogechukwu Nkere and the Director Biafra Foreign Affairs, USA,
Ada Eze, held important meetings with US congressmen, including the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Mike Johnson and Congressman Jeff Van Drew to discuss Biafra Liberation and the interest of the Biafran community in the US.
He made this known in a series of statements posted on his official X account on Thursday.
Ekpa, known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, noted that Nkere had a
fruitful discussion with the US lawmakers regarding the Biafra
self-referendum and the Nigerian government’s alleged marginalisation of
Biafrans.
Ekpa in his statement boasted that US Speaker expressed interest in supporting Biafra’s agitation for self-rule.
According to him, the outcome of the discussion during the meetings would help in the actualization of Biafra liberation.
He added that the message of the Biafra declaration on December 2, 2024, has resonated all over the US.
Ekpa wrote, “BRGIE Minister of Finance Ogechukwu Nkere had a substantive meeting and discussion with the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Congressman Mike Johnson (R-LA), to discuss the BRGIE, developments in Biafra, and the Biafran-American community.
“This is historic and unprecedented, as Speaker Johnson is one of the most powerful individuals in the United States government and is second in the United States presidential line of succession, after the Vice President.
“Minister Nkere also had the opportunity to discuss the self-referendum and Nigeria’s marginalisation of Biafrans.
“The Speaker expressed interest in and sympathy to the Biafran cause.
At the end of the meeting, the Speaker provided a commemorative gift,
which contained an official insignia of the office of Speaker of the
House.
“This is truly historic, as never before has the Biafran issue been presented at such a high level.”
Recall that Ekpa-led BRGIE announced December 2, 2024, as the date for the Biafra liberation declaration.
However, the Nigerian Government had maintained that it was making moves to repatriate him back to the country from Finland.
The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government in Exile has condemned attacks and killings of Biafrans in the Ogbaru Community in Anambra state.
Viral video had emerged over the week showing dead bodies of some youths, with accompanying voice notes claiming they were killed by security agencies.
In a statement on Wednesday on Ekpa’s official X handle, he condemned the killings.
A video posted by Ekpa, who is known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, claimed that Nigerian security forces poured gasoline on lifeless men and set them ablaze.
According to him, the incident will not deter BRGIE from pursuing Biafra Liberation.
“The nation has been thrown into mourning as the terrorists killed and
slaughtered innocent Biafra citizens in Ogbaru and destroyed their homes.
“On behalf of the Biafra Government, our condolences go to the Biafra families in Ogbaru.
“Our objective firmly remains to achieve Biafra Liberation despite the resistance of Nigeria and its institutions within the Biafra territory.
“Nothing will deter the Biafra people’s quest for freedom and Nigeria can never be allowed to become a haven for terrorists, its end has certainly come”, he said.
Meanwhile, as of the time of filing the report, the Nigerian Army has yet to deny or confirm the alleged killing in the Ogbaru community.
reported last Friday that unknown gunmen attacked Ogbaru Local Government Area secretariat, destroying some buildings and other properties.
This was contained a letter signed by the Director General of Biafra Ministry of Foreign Affairs, BRGIE, Dr Joy Robi addressed to the Mayor Brampton, Canada.
Recall that Sunnberger sparked outrage after a now-viral video she posted on her Tiktok account showed that she would harm Yoruba and Edo People.
In response to Sunnberger’s comments, the Nigerian government through the Nigerian in Diaspora Commission, chaired by Abike Dabiri-Erewa on Thursday petitioned the Mayor of Brampton to persecute Sunnberger over her threatening comment.
Reacting, to the development Simon Ekpa, the Prime Minister of BRGIE had vowed to defend Sunnberger.
o this end, Irobi in a three-page letter to the Canadian Government posted on Ekpa’s official X handle on Friday expressed concern over the inaccuracies and potential misunderstandings claimed by NiDCOM over Sunnberger.
The letter highlighted several violent remarks by individuals within the Nigerian government against Biafrans which did elicit call for persecution by the government.
“We provide below a counterargument with evidence of how the Nigerian
government that NiDCOM is representing has incited video violence and killings of
Indigenous people in Nigeria, which resulted in many people fleeing out of Nigeria to preserve their lives.
“Bayo Onanuga: I owe no-one an apology for ethnic slur against the Biafran Igbos, they are a threat to Yorubas”, the letter cited President Bola Tinubu Media Aide’s Onanuga’s comment in July 2024 as allegedly inciting violence.
Information reaching the Biafra Government reveals that Mrs. Amaka Patience Sonnberge was traumatized by the attempted kidnap of her child in Canada by Two individuals from NiDCOM is informed that the police have taken over the matter. Of note, Biafrans living in Nigeria and abroad are suffering intensely under the incessant life threat against the Igbo race. This mental abuse has been ignored due to fear of being killed
“NIDCOM’s Chair is from a privileged Nigerian tribe with the positive attention her tribe is enjoying but ignored the intense mental suffering being mated on the Biafra people from the great Igbo race.
“Notably, Mrs. Amaka Patience Sonnberge due to the mental suffering certain tribes in
Nigeria has mated on her family in Biafra land and may have angrily
misspoken due to her pain, but that is not enough for NIDCOM to be
advocating for Mrs Amaka Patience Sonnberge to lose her occupation.
“In conclusion, I firmly believe that the claims made against Mrs Amaka Patience
Sonnberge is unfounded and does not reflect the true character and contributions when
you examine the painful and mental suffering Biafrans in Nigeria are
going through daily. I respectfully request that you ignore the NiDOM
claims in light of the evidence provided and allow Mrs. Amaka Patien ce
Sonnberge to continue to contribute positively to your community in
Canada. The Biafra government will defend Mrs Amaka Patience Sonnberge
against any action taken by the NIDCOM”, the letter partly reads.
