President Muhammadu Buhari has been charged by the Biafra Nations League, BNL, to recognize Biafra as a separate Republic by hoisting the Biafra flag in Aso Rock on May 30 Biafra memorial day.
The National Leader of BNL, Princewill Chimezie Richard, made this call on Monday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Princeswill in the statement promised that Biafra would be a great ally of Nigeria economically as a former member of the Nigerian State.
He further stated that the crisis going on in Nigeria and Bakassi Peninsula area where BNL headquarters is could worsen if Buhari fails to adhere to the advice.
The BNL leader likened Buhari’s attitude to that of Pharaoh in the Bible.
Princewill also confirmed Sunday’s gun battle between some Militant loyalists of BNL and Cameroon BIR in Isangele area of Bakassi Peninsula.
He said the members from the region were attacked by BIR at their meeting point which resulted in self-defence.
He commended the Bakassi people for rising for the emancipation of Biafra, adding that Bakassi exerts more influence in the Bight of Biafra before the Bonny people.
“I commend them for their steadfastness in the struggle for the Biafra Republic, all our members interest especially the interest of the people of the Peninsula are well stated in the BNL’s Ekukunela Declarations made in Ekukunela, Ikom LGA Cross River State in 2016.
