The Prime Minister of Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), Simon Ekpa has called on all Biafrans to join in exercising their rights to self determination and actualization of independence state.
Ekpa declared that the steps being taken for the actualization of independent state are internationally recognised way of referendum.
The Prime Minister who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday via his official X handle, confirmed that over 50 Biafrans have cast their ballots.
He assured that all arrangements have been adequately put in place towards a successful Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra Convention, 2024.
According to him, the convention, which is slanted to hold on November 29 to December 3, 2024, in Lahti, Finland, is part of the fundamental rights of all Biafrans to self-rule.
The statement read: “On behalf of the Biafra Government (BRGIE), we are happy to invite you to the Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra Convention (DRIBC 2024), which will be held in Lahti, Finland, from the 29th of November till the 3rd of December 2024.
“All arrangements have been adequately made by the Biafra Government (BRGIE) for your accreditation to the event.
“You have served under Nigeria, and you are well aware that the establishment of Nigeria as an artificial experiment by the British has done nothing but the continuous violation of our fundamental basic human rights. For this reason, joining hands with your fellow Biafrans in exercising your inalienable rights to self-determination is a moral obligation and, most importantly, a fight for self-preservation.
“The steps we are taking for the actualisation of our independent state are by an internationally recognised way of referendum. Already well over 50 million Biafrans have cast their ballots, with more expected to vote in the homeland and diaspora. We are excited and hoping to welcome you to the convention.”
Recall that barely one month ago, Ekpa wooed elites from the south-East to participate in its Biafra declaration convention.
