The founder of Biafra Independence Movement and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (BIM-MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has disclosed that the Biafra Interim Government (BIG) would be dissolved on December 30, 2020, followed by the election of the substantive government.

Uwazuruike, who presided over an executive meeting of Biafra Internal Government, yesterday, stated that on December 30, the people of Biafra would elect their president, prime minister, among other officers.

In a statement signed and issued to newsmen in Onitsha by Chief Uwazuruike’s Special Assistant on Social Media Matters, Comrade Emma N. Nnadi, Uwazuruike noted that Biafra has attained an independent status like the countries of Scotland in United Kingdom, UK, Taiwan, among others, stating that BiM-MASSOB is waiting for her official recognitions by the United Nations as a Sovereign State.

His words: “On 30th of December last year, Chief Solomon Chukwu emerged as the president of New Biafra Republic, while Lambert Obikaizu emerged as the prime minister.

“Also, Hon. Vincent Ilogbenu, emerged the Chief Justice of the Biafra Federation; Mazi Micheal Ijeoma, the Speaker of the Parliament and Minister. These respected officials of internal government worked hard to kick- off the government of Biafra since January 1st, 2020,” he revealed.

Uwazuruike commended the outgoing government for work well done in ensuring that Biafra was recognised as the 46th member nation of the Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organisation (UNPO) and also the recognition of the Biafra Football Federation as member of Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA) and other numerous achievements.

Uwazuruike also said that the election of president and prime minister would be based on the individual’s capacity of negotiating for the full recognition of Biafra as a sovereign state.

This is even as he appointed Mr. Idu Esor Idu as the Biafra football team grass root technical adviser, and Chief Emmanuel Okolie as the Biafra Minister of Youths and Sports, in preparation for CONIFA African football tournament that will be hosted by South Africa.

Uwazuruike, while making the appointments, noted that the appointments became necessary in view of the need to bring back home the Conifa African trophy, so as to straighten the Biafra bilateral relationship in the world of sports.

In reaction, Comrade Idu Esor Idu said that Biafra could not afford to go for any other thing than the trophy, stating that it is only the trophy that can consolidate the people of Biafra.

Comrade Idu Esor Idu, who is a native of Itigidi, Abi local government area of Cross River state, was until his appointment, the famous Drill Commander of Abia state command of Biafra Security Personnel and also the Umuahia Commander of BIM-MASSOB. He is known and fondly called Commander B-B by his admirers.
