Leader of the Biafra Zionists’
Federation, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka, on Tuesday described President Muhammadu
Buhari’s nationwide broadcast as “a compendium of lies.”
Onwuka, who spoke to journalists
in Enugu, said the President’s statement that late Biafra leader, Dim
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu disowned Biafra was false.
Onwuka,
who had few weeks back declared himself the President of Biafra, challenged
Buhari to provide an audio and transcript evidence of the said meeting between
him (Buhari) and Ojukwu.
Recall that Buhari, in a nationwide
broadcast, marking his return to the country said he sat with the former
warlord in 2003 and they both agreed that the unity of Nigeria was not
negotiable.
But Onwuka, while disputing the
statement, said, “We are speaking today in response to the broadcast said to
have been made by Buhari. We want to let the world know that Buhari is wasting
his time; he has been defeated.
“He didn’t start failing today;
he supported Hillary Clinton during the US election, but they all failed; he
knows it.
“So, his broadcast is a waste of
time; a compendium of lies; Biafrans challenge him, let him produce the
transcript; we saw what they posted on his twitter handle and called it a
video. This is very comedic. When has a picture become a video. Where is the
voice, where is the motion; where is the transcript? What he has dished out is
a far-cry; we are asking for a video evidence, with the audio, the transcript
of that meeting. Let us see what they agreed on.
“Above all, I don’t believe what
he is saying; if that is what happened, let him come up with evidence. Odumegwu
Ojukwu, I believe will never compromise on Biafra’s independence. He was the
one that led us to war, except that he made mistake of not accepting offer from
Russia. That’s what the Zionists have done by seeking support from US.
“The broadcast he made, Ojukwu
could never have compromised; let his provide the evidence and what Ojukwu
said. Even if it is what Ojukwu said, Ojukwu is not speaking for Biafra;
Biafrans are a nation; a nation is more important than one person.
“So, Ojukwu can never betray
Biafra. Why didn’t he say this when Ojukwu was alive? He should have told us
then. When that meeting held, he should have given us an opportunity, where two
of them would have come out and told us, we believe in one Nigeria.
“Why now, because the man has
died, you are now coming up with allegations against him, because the grave
cannot speak? So, whatever he said Ojukwu told him, we don’t buy into it.
“Biafra has come to stay with the
backing of US. Our matter is right now at the desk of the US President. So,
Buhari is wasting his time.
“He is even calling us
irresponsible because he is benefiting form our oil. Where in the world are
people agitating for freedom called irresponsible people?
“What will he call Boko Haram
members? The only reason is that he he is feeding from our oil, allocating oil
blocks and all that. Without the oil, there will be no Nigeria. He can say
whatever he likes.”
On Buhari’s stance on Biafra
agitators, Onwuka added: “We also want to let him know that since he said unity
of Nigeria is non-negotiable, the restoration of Biafra is also
non-negotiable.”
When asked to comment on an
interim government he claimed to have formed few weeks back, he said, “I’m not
claiming to be president on my own; United States under Obama recognized Biafra
on 15th October, 2014. The zionists believe in international diplomacy.
“Let me assure those people
appointed that the interim government stands until we hear from the White
House. So, the interim government and our announcement on Biafra, they are
still intact; we are waiting to get reply from US but the government we formed
is intact, upon the return of Trump from vacation, Biafra will take off. Obama
and Trump will make Biafra to be a reality.
“My cabinet members have reacted,
some negative, but I know they will come around; the interim government is
alive but we cannot activate it until we get a signal from the White House. But
I know that all those saying no now, they will later come around.
“Those we appointed from the
Middle belt are part of us; the Middle belt belongs to us, including Southern
Kaduna. We are going to give Southern Kaduna a State and that State shall be
called Gurara State.
“We shall also restore peace
between Cross River and Ebonyi. The boundary dispute is a result of weak
government. They don’t care that we are killing ourselves so long as they are
taking our oil. But Biafra will not allow any form of boundary crisis, that we
can assure our people; there will be absolute peace.”
