Ex-Niger Delta militants under
the aegis of Niger Delta Ken Saro Wiwa Adaka Boro Biafra Freedom Fighters, have
pleaded with the United Nations, UN, and the international community to compel
the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Nigerian government to allow the people of
Biafra go.
According to the ex-militants,
the only way to stop the agitation for Biafra was to allow Ndigbo have their
own country.
Chief Jasper Emmanuel, the leader
of the group, made the call in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
He noted that the actualisation
of Biafra Republic could not be suppressed or denied as everybody had right to
freely express his mind on where to belong.
Emmanuel said, “all ex-agitators
and militants must come together to support and agitate for the actualisation
of Biafra Republic as that would give the Niger Delta region the tonic for
rapid socio-economic development which had eluded the region for decades.
“We are seriously working with
all necessary stakeholders and Biafra agitation groups within and outside the
country to actualise the dream of the Biafra Republic where the people can be
free in a country they can call their own.
“The actualisation of Biafra
Republic will happen shortly as the people can no longer remain in a federation
that is politically and economically favourable to only some sections, while
other parts of the country that lay the golden egg live in abject poverty and
under development.
“The battle for the actualisation
of a sovereign state of Biafra must be fought and won on all fronts for the
benefit of all as the political imbalance of Nigeria has thrown under
development to some sections while political power had remained the exclusive
preserve of a few ethnic and religious groups.”
