The Biafra Zioninsts Federation, BZF, on Tuesday gave the
Nigeria Government a 48-hour ultimatum to withdraw military troops from the
South-East and other regions within the area.
This followed the launching of operation Python Dance II in
the South-East by the Nigerian Army, and the alleged killing of some Biafra
agitators in Umuahia on Sunday.
In a press statement he issued to journalists in Enugu,
self-acclaimed Biafra President, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka said the Federal
Government and the Army hierarchy would pay dearly over the lives lost in the
said attack.
We reports that the military had since denied the reported
death of any person during its confrontation with the agitators.
However, Onwuka in his statement said, “for sending armed
soldiers to Biafra, it is political suicide for them and
they will pay dearly for it.
“Army has nothing to do with Biafra
and this intimidation will not work. Biafra is alive; Biafra
has since been recognized by the US.
So, it can no longer be crushed. Our back-up is the US.
So, Buhari is wasting his time, because the Army will not stop Biafra’s
independence.
“Sending troops to come to intimidate us is not going to
work. Any loss of life by any Biafran, whoever it is, is a great pain and
regrettable, but they will pay very dearly.
“I am warning them; I’m giving them 48 hours that all troops
in the South-East, the South-South and the Middle Belt, must be withdrawn
immediately. They are going to pay a heavy price.
“My heart goes out to all the Biafrans kiilled and their
families.
These soldiers behaved like terrorists.
“In the North, the Boko Haram and the Hausa-Fulani herdsmen
are killing people in thousands; in the middle-belt civilians are being killed
by rampaging herdsmen, how many troops have they sent there? But down here,
they sent them to kill unarmed agitators.
“So, it is similar to a terrorist attack and they will
definitely face war crimes when the time comes.
“This is intimidation and that is why I’m giving them 48
hours to withdrawn these soldiers; they will pay a heavy price for this action;
they will regret it.
“However, no Biafran should yield to this intimidation; they
should go on and fly Biafran and Israeli flag wherever they are.”
He equally lambasted son of late Biafra leader, Chief
Odumegwu Ojukwu, Emeka Ojukwu Jnr. for saying that his father indeed met with
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2003 where they foreclosed Biafra.
While describing Ojukwu Jnr. as a liar, the Zionists said
“it is very disappointing for Emeka Ojukwu Jnr. to join Buhari in saying that
his father dumped Biafra when he was alive.
“We have said it before that Buhari lied; we are saying it
now that Emeka Ojukwu Jnr. is a chronic liar and a saboteur.
“Why is he supporting Buhari who is sending troops to be
killing his own people if not for selfish interest, for stomach infrastructure?
“Since he said he was aware of the meeting, we demand that
he should provide the date, the venue, the transcript, the signatories to the
agreement and the witnesses.
“We also demand to know why he waited till now to say so.
I’m saying this because I led Zionists on a condolence visit to him in March 8,
2012 after Ojukwu’s burial, over 1000 zionists went with Biafra flags, a band,
a cow and in my speech I did say that his father’s legacy of fighting for
Biafra will never die, to which he responded by saying ‘Amen! I agree with
you’.
“Also, in 2013, I visited him in Abuja
on his invitation and we discussed Biafra for almost
four hours. In that meeting, he even asked me why I did not include his name in
the Biafra government we formed then?
It is now strange that the same person is saying this now.
“We also wonder why Ojukwu should visit Buhari in 2003 to
discuss Nigeria
sovereignty when Olusegun Obasanjo, the then President was the one holding Nigeria’s
constitution. In what capacity did Buhari receive Ojukwu to discuss Nigeria’s
soverignty? The fallacies are so glaring.”
He commiserated with the United
States as they commemorate the 9/11
terrorist attack, noting that “we want to tell the Americans that the Biafra
people are with them; we condole them and we assure them that we are ready to
support them in any way to fight terrorism.
“This makes it very imperative that Biafra
should be fully recognized and I’m very confident that the ex-Us President,
Barrack Obama and the incumbent, Donald Trump will make it happen very soon. We
are asking the Biafrans to remain quite and calm.
“The government we formed on the 31st of July remains
intact; the interim government and the ministers remain as they are pending
recognition by the US.”
