Recognise Biafra as sovereign state to forstal mass exodus – Uwazuruike tells US, UN, others

Founder of movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra and Biafra Independence Movement (BIM-MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, yesterday urged the international community to as a matter of urgency recognize Biafra as a sovereign state so as to stop people from that geographical region from joining the looming mass exodus of African refugees to Europe.

Uwazuruike made this call while reacting to a report allegedly by the Commander of US special operations in Africa, Major General David Anderson, who was quoted saying in a digital briefing on US efforts to combat terrorism in Africa during Covid-19 that Boko Haram, ISIS, Al Qaeda, ISWA, others, had penetrated the North East, other regions in the North and were advancing to Southern Nigeria.

Uwazuruike said that the world could not afford to witness another major war in Nigeria caused by inaction of the Federal Government.

The Biafran agitator said that the US alleged report had vindicated him on why he opted for self-determination for Biafran people and urged the United Nations, United States and other relevant international agencies to help fast-track Biafra’s struggle for sovereign status. He noted that Biafra recognition was the only panacea to achieve continued peace in Africa as a continent.

Uwazuruike recalled that in 2014, General Iheajirika (rtd) had intensified efforts to decimate Boko Haram insurgency in three months of his service as the Chief of Army Staff “but it was the Northerners who complained that the Igbo man who was the Chief of Army Staff at that period was killing their people and with that complaint President Goodluck Jonathan was compelled to remove General Ihejirika.”

In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on social media matters, Mr Emma Nnadi, Uwazuruike expressed optimism that Nigeria would divide in no distant time and cautioned that if something was not done fast, the situation might metamorphose into war which would affect the whole African continent.

He appealed to the international community not to hesitate to recognize Biafra as a sovereign nation immediately.

Uwazuruike alleged that Boko Haram, Fulani headsmen, bandits, among others were agents being used to Fulanize and Islamize other ethnic groups including Eastern Nigeria (Biafrans) but maintained that they would be resisted.
