Leader of the Biafra Independent
Movement, BIM, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to
grant Biafra independence.
Uwazuruike in a statement by the
group’s Director of Information, Chris Mocha, said Igbos’ continuous claim to
Nigeria meant adopting slavery, corruption, poverty, marginalisation,
inequality and instability.
Stressing that secession of Biafra
will be good for Nigeria and all other ethnic nationalities, Uwazurike said,
“If I will not get Biafra, I
wouldn’t have come out to start talking about it in the first place and the
non-violent method which I understudied for years in India would be defeated.
“We are firm that Biafra can never
be wished away.
“Adopting Nigeria as our country
would mean adopting slavery, corruption, inequality, poverty, marginalisation
and instability.
“Therefore, under the present
circumstance, we humbly apply to be admitted, registered or treated as the case
may be in any of the organ of the United Nations, having denounced our Nigerian
nationality.”
