Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra leader Ralph Uwazuruike has announced plans to set up a parallel government in the Southeast and Southsouth.
Election will hold on February 22 into wards, provinces, districts, regions and zones of the Southeast and Southsouth, which it said are Biafra territories.
Speaking during the presentation of the 2016 Biafra Budget at the Ojukwu Memorial library, Uwazuruike announced the appointment of Rev. Fr Samuel Aniebonam, a Catholic Priest, as the Chairman of the Biafra Independent National Electoral Commission (B-INEC).
His words: “In line with our principle of non-violence towards establishing a sovereign control over the territorial boarders of the New Biafra, a Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Samuel Aniebonam has been appointed the Chairman of Biafra Independent National Electoral Commission, (B-INEC).
“The Chairman, with other anointed men and women of God as members, will supervise the internal election into the offices of the new Biafra Government on February 22.” The separatist leader said the election will be by open ballot, popularly known as Option A4.
“Our election will not be like Nigeria’s election, it will be a transparent one. In Biafra, there won’t be electoral fraud. The tenure of the elected Regional Governor or Minister would be four years and nine months. There shall be no second tenure.
“Once you are defeated, you won’t appeal in a tribunal against your opponent. This is why members of the commission would be men and women of God.”
MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, in a telephone interview, said the elections is in line with democratic ideals and international best practices, which Biafra was founded on, and where citizens would find satisfaction.
He explained that only members of MASSOB and its parent body, the Biafra Independence Movement, (BIM), are qualified to vote and be voted for in the election.
“The electioneering has began; we are conducting elections into all offices from wards to the zones, to elect leaders to administer Biafra. We are going to show Nigeria how to conduct free and fair elections without rigging, intimidation and favouritism.
“Biafra will be a country where others would come to learn how democracy works. We have already set standards. Our non-violent approach is legendary and we have received several commendations for it. We want freedom; Biafra is the answer.”
Okereafor said as soon as the elections were concluded and winners sworn in, Biafra would re-introduce its legal tender, the pounds. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteNwazuruike, Nwazuruike, Nwazuruike.How many times did I call you ? Buhari will not read your apology letter o...A word is enough for the wise
ReplyDeleteYeah! Igbos continue in your journey to perdition but don't drag us into your selfish scheme.
ReplyDeleteSouth South has never been members of your ethic association.
It is obvious that our oil and access to the sea are why the Igbos want to drag us into their dead at birth Biafra.
No sane ethnic minority will embrace Ibos as their self centred, domineering and myopic dispositions are sufficient put off
Wow people have started thinking...
DeleteMake dem go! If Southsouth wan follow dem, oya!! My advice to PMB and his government: call a national conference and let stakeholders agree on the borders. We don't need the Biafra type of Igbos in this country; the Nigerian type of Igbos are okay. The former make too much noise, like the empty vessels they are; while the latter are genuine people of integrity and industry.
ReplyDeleteRapheal, pls we ND would not b part of ur biafra, u tifs u want steal our oil.
ReplyDeleteLunacy at its highest. A gimmick to attract attention but one is really tempted to ask where are the real Igbo leaders and why have they abandoned the field for these charlatans to desecrate the race
ReplyDeleteThis man do not know other business other than this Biafra thing and the gullible ones are following him sheepishly. It Is a pity!
ReplyDeleteThis guys is a big joke! What makes him think that the south-south is interested in that crap he is propagating? This stooge should get a life, oh!
ReplyDeletePls don't drag South South in to ur Biafra problems
ReplyDeleteOh! Ralph Ralph Ralph abeg go sidon for ya papa house ooooooooo. You're just a "Day Dreamer" wise up South-South
ReplyDeletethere is no gain saying that the best democracy in the world is on social contract theory. what amazes me most is that the advocates of the so called biafra dont put hstory in its pride of place. the south south, particularly the edo/delta axis has never in anyti.e in history be part of e rebel group. biafra can go solo; midwest, recently known in histoy as bendel must b left intact.
