Leader of the Biafra Zionists’
Federation, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka, on Tuesday described President Muhammadu
Buhari’s nationwide broadcast as “a compendium of lies.”
Onwuka, who spoke to journalists in Enugu,
said the President’s statement that late Biafra leader,
Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu disowned Biafra was
false.
DAILY POST reports that Onwuka, who had few weeks back
declared himself the President of Biafra, challenged Buhari to provide an audio
and transcript evidence of the said meeting between him (Buhari) and Ojukwu.
Recall that Buhari, in a nationwide broadcast, marking his
return to the country said he sat with the former warlord in 2003 and they both
agreed that the unity of Nigeria
was not negotiable.
But Onwuka, while disputing the statement, said, “We are
speaking today in response to the broadcast said to have been made by Buhari.
We want to let the world know that Buhari is wasting his time; he has been
defeated.
“He didn’t start failing today; he supported Hillary Clinton
during the US
election, but they all failed; he knows it.
“So, his broadcast is a waste of time; a compendium of lies;
Biafrans challenge him, let him produce the transcript; we saw what they posted
on his twitter handle and called it a video. This is very comedic. When has a
picture become a video. Where is the voice, where is the motion; where is the
transcript? What he has dished out is a far-cry; we are asking for a video
evidence, with the audio, the transcript of that meeting. Let us see what they
agreed on.
“Above all, I don’t believe what he is saying; if that is
what happened, let him come up with evidence. Odumegwu Ojukwu, I believe will
never compromise on Biafra’s independence. He was the
one that led us to war, except that he made mistake of not accepting offer from
Russia. That’s
what the Zionists have done by seeking support from US.
“The broadcast he made, Ojukwu could never have compromised;
let his provide the evidence and what Ojukwu said. Even if it is what Ojukwu
said, Ojukwu is not speaking for Biafra; Biafrans are a
nation; a nation is more important than one person.
“So, Ojukwu can never betray Biafra.
Why didn’t he say this when Ojukwu was alive? He should have told us then. When
that meeting held, he should have given us an opportunity, where two of them
would have come out and told us, we believe in one Nigeria.
“Why now, because the man has died, you are now coming up
with allegations against him, because the grave cannot speak? So, whatever he
said Ojukwu told him, we don’t buy into it.
“Biafra has come to stay with the
backing of US. Our matter is right now at the desk of the US
President. So, Buhari is wasting his time.
“He is even calling us irresponsible because he is
benefiting form our oil. Where in the world are people agitating for freedom
called irresponsible people?
“What will he call Boko Haram members? The only reason is
that he he is feeding from our oil, allocating oil blocks and all that. Without
the oil, there will be no Nigeria.
He can say whatever he likes.”
On Buhari’s stance on Biafra
agitators, Onwuka added: “We also want to let him know that since he said unity
of Nigeria is
non-negotiable, the restoration of Biafra is also
non-negotiable.”
When asked to comment on an interim government he claimed to
have formed few weeks back, he said, “I’m not claiming to be president on my
own; United States
under Obama recognized Biafra on 15th Ocober, 2014. The
zionists believe in international diplomacy.
“Let me assure those people appointed that the interim
government stands until we hear from the White House. So, the interim
government and our announcement on Biafra, they are
still intact; we are waiting to get reply from US but the government we formed
is intact, upon the return of Trump from vacation, Biafra
will take off. Obama and Trump will make Biafra to be a
reality.
“My cabinet members have reacted, some negative, but I know
they will come around; the interim government is alive but we cannot activate
it until we get a signal from the White House. But I know that all those saying
no now, they will later come around.
“Those we appointed from the Middle belt are part of us; the
Middle belt belongs to us, including Southern Kaduna. We
are going to give Southern Kaduna a State and that State
shall be called Gurara State.
“We shall also restore peace between Cross
River and Ebonyi. The boundary
dispute is a result of weak government. They don’t care that we are killing
ourselves so long as they are taking our oil. But Biafra
will not allow any form of boundary crisis, that we can assure our people;
there will be absolute peace.”
