Pro-biafrans Unite To Form New ‘government’ by donhype: 1:24pm On Dec 23, 2015
Reports just reaching Starzhit.com reveal that on
Tuesday, December 22, various pro-Biafra groups
merged to form one umbrella body and initiate what
they named a “shadow government”.

The merging pro-Biafra groups said they would function as
an interim customary and legitimate organization,
affirming that they would not break any Nigerian laws.


Breaking Times reports that the Indigenous Peoples of
Biafra (IPOB), the Movement for the Actualization of the
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) as well as other pro-
Biafra movements merged under one umbrella body named
the Customary Government of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (CGIPB), a development which brought much
jubilation to the agitators.


Operations for the CGIPB were flagged off at a government
secretariat in Enugu state.


A press statement made it clear that the governing council
of the IPOB remains functional, with leaders as follows:


HRM, the Honourable Justice Eze Ozobu, OFR
(Chairman); Dr Dozie Ikedife, OON, JP (Deputy Chair­
man); Brig Gen Joe Achuzia, (Secretary-General); HRM,
Eze Iheanyi Nwokenna, OFG, JP (Public Relations
Officer), with other members of the council still on duty.


The statement reads: ‘‘We are happy to announce that the
Customary Government of Indigenous People of Biafra
has commenced operations at the Government Secretariat
located at Enugu, in the interim”


“All the ministries are located within the complex but
liaison offices shall be opened in all parts of Biafra land,
for easy coordination”.


‘‘The Supreme Council of Elders of Indigenous People of
Biafra has approved a 24-member National Executive
Council (NEC) that will run the government. The NEC will
consist of the representatives from all pro-Biafra groups
and all the provinces in Biafra land so that none will be
excluded.”


’The junior staff officers of the CGIPB have commenced
work at the Secretariat but the Director of Administration
and Principal Officers of the Customary Government
shall be announced to the public soon.


‘’The Biafran Government has taken off under Customary
Law within the Nigerian Legal System. It is similar to the
Sharia Government in the North. We shall not break any
Nigerian law. It is a transitional government.


‘’Everything we do is legal. All the Indigenous People of
Biafra are therefore advised to submit themselves to the
authority of the Government of Indigenous People of
Biafra headed by the supreme council of elders,’’ the
statement concluded.


It has previously been reported that the process of forming
the cabinet of Biafra is ongoing and will soon be
announced.


The report by Biara Times also announced that there would
be a secret meeting with a UN committee on the arranging
of newly emerging Africa states.

Some ppl think IPOB is about Nnamdi Kanu. Kanu is just the radio director, IPOB has been functioning for a long time under the supreme council of elders like Dozie Ikedife and Joe Achuzia
