•Election to hold February 22

Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra leader Ralph Uwazuruike has announced plans to set up a parallel government in the Southeast and Southsouth.

Election will hold on February 22 into wards, provinces, districts, regions and zones of the Southeast and Southsouth, which it said are Biafra  territories.

Speaking during the presentation of the 2016 Biafra Budget at the Ojukwu Memorial library, Uwazuruike announced the appointment of Rev. Fr Samuel Aniebonam, a Catholic Priest, as the Chairman of the Biafra Independent National Electoral Commission (B-INEC).

His words: “In line with our principle of non-violence towards establishing a sovereign control over the territorial boarders of the New Biafra, a Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr. Samuel Aniebonam has been appointed the Chairman of Biafra Independent National Electoral Commission, (B-INEC).



“The Chairman, with other anointed men and women of God as members, will supervise the internal election into the offices of the new Biafra Government on February 22.” The separatist leader said the election will be by open ballot, popularly known as Option A4.

“Our election will not be like Nigeria’s election, it will be a transparent one. In Biafra, there won’t be electoral fraud. The tenure of the elected Regional Governor or Minister would be four years and nine months. There shall be no second tenure.

“Once you are defeated, you won’t appeal in a tribunal against your opponent. This is why members of the commission would be men and women of God.”

MASSOB’s National Director of Information, Sunny Okereafor, in a telephone interview, said the elections is in line with democratic ideals and international best practices, which Biafra was founded on, and where citizens would find satisfaction.

He explained that only members of MASSOB and its parent body, the Biafra Independence Movement, (BIM), are qualified to vote and be voted for in the election.

“The electioneering has began; we are conducting elections into all offices from wards to the zones, to elect leaders to administer Biafra. We are going to show Nigeria how to conduct free and fair elections without rigging, intimidation and favouritism.

“Biafra will be a country where others would come to learn how democracy works. We have already set standards. Our non-violent approach is legendary and we have received several commendations for it. We want freedom; Biafra is the answer.”

Okereafor said as soon as the elections were concluded and winners sworn in, Biafra would re-introduce its legal tender, the pounds.

Very good development. Jail will definitely be his(Uwazuruike) next abode. That way, Kanu will have a familiar cellmate.

Hahahaha igbos are gud at comedy and empty chest beaters

I think it's been very long since this guy tasted beans, and longs to have his taste buds nourished again.

I think he's envious of Nnamumudi's enjoyment in the dungeon.

The passports they swindled them on is gonna be child's play compared to this next scam where folks would be asked to pay tax to run the Biafra government.

This isht has gotta be the most profitable scam of the century!

Uwazurike is a joker

In as much as this is a comedic statement, I cant help but remember pre-elections when the APC also threatened to do same if they lost.

Nigerians are indeed funny

No problem as far as the parallelism is within the Eastern enclave.
Nonsense

Uwazuruike is on his way to meet Nnamdi Kanu.

Funny indeed, why are they going with south South. Why can't they go alone. South South beware they want to invade your land in style.

Keneking:
No problem as far as the parallelism is within the Eastern enclave.
Nonsense

Read the post again. South south is included in the joke election.

Make I laugh abeg!!

Omenka, na true you talk...

Seems stony beans dey hungry Uwazuruike, also the attention Kanu is getting is making him feel some type of way!

Tonyebarcanista, now is your chance to be a senator @ least , thou shall not miss this chance!!

This guy want to sell more Biafran passports and other souvenirs.
Biafra is all about business.

Miscreants everywhere

Odikwa very risky

Biafra agitation is already defeated.

Na lie! Na so e easy to form government
Else he'll end cooling up in Wuse jail

The federal government needs to do something about this BIAFRA agitators before they blindly lead their followers to destruction .Forming a parallel government in former president Jonathan's regime can attract settlement but this man called Buhari ya weyrey gan oo.These Biafrans should tow the path of peace please we don't want war again in our country .

Speaking during the presentation of the 2016 Biafra Budget at the Ojukwu Memorial library, Uwazuruike announced the appointment of Rev. Fr Samuel Aniebonam, a Catholic Priest, as the Chairman of the Biafra Independent National Electoral Commission (B-INEC).
