Chief Ralph Uwazurike
Leader of the Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, and founder of the
Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief
Ralph Uwazuruike has claimed that Nigeria would break into six
different republics before 2023, Daily Post has reported.
He made this prediction known yesterday in a statement issued in
Onitsha, Anambra state, shortly after BIM’s Anambra South Zonal meeting
held at Uga, Aguata Local Government Area of the state, Uwazuruike who
was represented by a member of Biafra Elders–in-council, Mazi Chris
Mocha, observed that “the obvious lack of trust in the relationship
or union between the northern and southern Nigeria is too inexplicable
that Nigerians cannot continue to co-exist as one nation.”
According to him, the six geo-political zones of the country’,
namely South-East, South-South, South-West, North-Central, North-East
and North-West, would metamorphose into the six republics, with
South-East becoming the long agitated New Biafra, while South-South
becomes Niger-Delta Republic, just as South-West and North-Central
become Oduduwa and Middle-Belt Republics respectively, leaving
North-East and North-West as Arewa Republic.
"The faulty amalgamation of the northern and southern Nigeria
in 1914 which expired since January 2014, also made it imperative that
the country must surely break up in the near future, based on Biafran
constitution which provided that any section of the country that is
dissatisfied with the union will be at liberty to secede.” Uwazuruike stated.
He intimated Biafra leaders “to ensure that the federation is
run in such a way that the citizens would be happy at all times and
willing to belong to Biafra without being forced to do so.”
He insisted that “it was only in a corrupt country like Nigeria
where illegality thrives that citizens are forced to live together and
always show allegiance to the state”, adding, “we do not deserve Biafra
if the emerging republic cannot be better than Nigeria.”
