Despite maintaining confidence in Nigeria, South-Easterners have reportedly continued to face mistreatment from the government, according to the Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Government in Exile.

Igbos in different positions within the Nigerian government were informed by Ekpa, who made the claim on his X account, that they had received nothing but ongoing violations of their basic human rights.

He claimed that investing in the Biafra project was the people’s best bet.

He urged the Igbos to support his Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra from November 29 to December 3, 2024, in Finland. “Join forces with your fellow Biafrans in exercising your inalienable rights to self-determination; it is a moral obligation and, most importantly, a fight for self-preservation,” he said.

According to him, more than 50 million Igbos have lawfully cast ballots for the Nigerian government’s Biafra Referendum in recent months.

“You have served under Nigeria, and you are well aware that the British establishment of Nigeria as an artificial experiment has done nothing but repeatedly violate our fundamental basic human rights,” he said to the Igbos.

Therefore, it is morally required and, above all, a struggle for self-preservation to stand with your fellow Biafrans in the exercise of your fundamental rights to self-determination.

“The measures we are taking to make our independent state a reality are through a globally accepted referendum process.”

According to the DAILYPULSE Bianca Ojukwu, the late Biafran warlord Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s widow, was named a member of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet earlier this week.

The initiative is said to be one of the president’s strategies to gain the South-East.

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, however, referred to the Tinubu administration’s dismissal of Women Affairs Minister Uju Kennedy Ohanenye and the subsequent appointment of Bianca as the “Reenewed Shege” on the Igbos.
