The members of the Biafra
Zionists Federation, BZF, yesterday said they were not interested in apology
being sought from President Muhammadu Buhari over the killings across the
country.
Fiery Enugu priest, the Rev. Fr.
Ejike Mbaka had on Sunday asked Buhari to either tender apology over the
killings being orchestrated by suspected Fulani herdsmen or face the wrath of
God.
However, in a statement by the
self-acclaimed President of the BZF, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka, he said Mbaka was on his own over any form of apology from Buhari.
Onwuka, who said there was no
going back on reclaiming the defunct Biafra Republic, said “Fr. Mbaka does not
know what he is talking about. Nobody is interested in any form of apology from
Buhari of anybody else.
“Will such apology bring back the
lives that have been lost? Will such apology pay for the injustices our people
have suffered? So, Mbaka merely expressed his opinion, which does not hold
water. He is on his own. Biafrans will never accept any apology from Buhari.
“Biafra is no longer an
agitation; it is a reality and it will certainly come to fruition on August
20.”
“Like I said before, the United
States and Israel are solidly behind us and that is why our government is
coming in full force.
“Recall that last year, precisely
on July 31, 2017 we formed an interim government. I want to now announce that
that government will permanently come to be on August 20, 2018, with myself as
the President.
“Other positions include: Prof
Pat Utomi, foreign affairs minister, Central Bank of Biafra, Prof. Charles
Chukwuma Soludo, minister of finance, Mrs. Arunma Otteh, Information, Amarachi
Ubani, Trade and Industry, May Okafor, Education, Gabriel Olowole Osagie,
Aviation, Labaran Maku, Transportation Prof. Jerry Gana, Secretary to the
Biafra Republic, Benny Lar, Petroleum, Paddy Davis, UN Ambassador, Chief Nnia
Nwodo, US Ambassador, Prof Okonjo Iweala and Barth Nnaji, energy minister.
“The reason we are bringing these
heavyweight and some Israelis into this government is to make sure they help us
reform the country. Nigeria is bedevilled with corruption,” Onwuka further said
in the statement.
He called on all the youths,
students and other pro-Biafra groups, “to join him on August 20 as we move into
the Enugu Government House, which belongs to Biafra and not to the contraption
called Nigeria.
“We are asking the churches to
come out. If we don’t get this Biafra, we will be Islamized. Whether IPOB,
MASSOB, Ohanaeze, we are asking everybody to come out.
“We are also in a very special
way inviting our brothers in the Niger-Delta, especially Asari Dokubo, Tompolo
and the Avengers to be part of this history. However, we are not asking them to
come with arms.
There is nothing like Nigeria
election again. I am banning all political campaigns here; I repeat, there will
be no election in 2019,” he boasted.
He re-echoed his demand for the
release of the chairman of Ibeto Group, Dr. Cletus Madubugwu Ibeto, warning
that if the Nigerian Government did not heed to it, it would have itself to
blame after August 20.
