The Biafra Zionists Federation,
BZF, on Friday vowed that no election would be conducted in the defunct Biafra
region during the 2019 general elections.
This came from the self-acclaimed
President of the BZF, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka.
He spoke to journalists in Enugu
a day after he was released from prison, where he also boasted that he would
take over Enugu government house on August 20 to announce Biafra Independence
as President of Biafra.
Onwuka was arrested on May 30
alongside 32 members of his group in front of Enugu government house where they
had gone to declare Biafra Independence.
They were discharged and
acquitted by a Magistrate Court in Enugu.
He said nothing would stop him
from “seizing Enugu government house on that day as President of Biafra as
Enugu remains the capital of Biafra land.”
He stated that the struggle for
the realization of Biafra has received a fresh momentum from the support of the
United States of America (USA) and Isreali government, stressing that on August
20, they would “enter government house, Enugu with carrots and sticks with
Isreali forces.
Onwuka said: “We will return back
to Enugu government house on August 20. The Nigerian government has 31 days to
run and wound up. Enugu is the capital of Biafra.
“The Enugu government house is
the property of Biafra. It does not belong to Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, it does not
belong to Mohammadu Buhari and also does not belong to Nigeria. I will seize
the place on that day and the Isreali forces will be backing us on that day and
we are inviting all Biafrans, students, Middle Belt, South-South and South west
to come out and receive their freedom on that day.”
Onwuka, who confirmed that they
were charged with treasonable felony after their arrests, stated that the
United States of America (USA) ordered their release from prison last month,
adding however that the order was not carried out until Thursday night.
“The Magistrate who had earlier
declined jurisdiction on the matter and sent us to prison, suddenly pronounced
us discharged and acquitted. We simply walked out of prison and we thank the
President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, who issued the order.
“Nobody believed we will return
from prison. We went in and we have come out. They can’t do anything and we are
going to show that we have the power of Isreali behind us.
“The implication of that order is
that we have defeated Nigeria. They can no longer shoot at us. That order has
reinforced the struggle and Biafra has gained momentum as Southeast,
South-South and Middle Belt are now asking for it,” he disclosed.
He announced a ban on all
political activities in Biafraland, stressing that elections won’t hold on
Biafra territories in 2019. He listed the areas where there would not be
election in 2019 to include Southeast, South-South, Western region, Bakassi
Peninsula, Middle Belt, saying they are part of the Biafra territory.
Onwuka added, however, that the
Nigerian government was free to conduct elections in ten northern states of
Kebbi, Sokoto, Katsina, Jigawa, Kano, Bauchi, Gombe, Boronu and Yobe states.
