Biafra Nations Youth League,
BNYL, says grassroots referendum activities will commence Monday next week.
BNYL Leader, Princewill Obuka,
said the group will converge in Akwa Ibom State, to honour late Biafra Chief of
General Staff and Vice President General Philip Effiong.
According to Obuka, Igbos and
entire ethnic groups of former Eastern region would have been consumed by the
civil war “if not that Effiong decided to swallow his ego and agreed with
Ojukwu and the rest Easterners”.
Speaking further, the group
stated that the Akwa Ibom State Chapter would go for thanksgiving service on
Sunday in memory of Effiong legacy, even as he noted that “the declaration that
ended the war paved way for today’s non violent movement.”
Obuka explained that the BNYL
faithful will commence its referendum programs, a gathering he noted would
witness the presence of war veterans especially from Akwa Ibom and Cross River
State.
“It will be an all grassroots
engagements, and we will make sure we continue within the ambit of national and
international laws.
“We are equally appealing to UN
to do what is expected of them and do not wait until the situation escalates”,
he added.
