ENUGU – 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 “ceasing Enugu government house on
that day as President of Biafra and as Enugu remains the capital of Biafra
land.”
He stated that the struggle for the actualization 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 cease 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.
