Mazi Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, has accused the Nigerian government of decades-long injustice, unfairness and marginalization against Igbos. He said there is no going back on the actualization of the Biafra referendum.
Ekpa, who doubles as the Prime Minister of BRGIE and a Finland-based lawyer, disclosed this on Friday in a Two-day extraordinary Biafra referendum convention in Helsinki, Finland. He explained that the Biafra agitation, which started due to the marginalization of Igbos in Nigeria, has degenerated into self-preservation.
What was initially motivated by agitation against marginalization has transformed into agitation for self-preservation. 'Agitation for Biafra that reemerged again more than a decade ago to protest exclusion from governance and marginalization regarding resource sharing and infrastructure development has since turned to agitation for self-preservation. 'They are yet to make any concessions regarding the fundamental causes of the agitation in the first place.
