UK Parliament Calls For BIAFRA Independence; Urges Buhari To Conduct Referendum
While it appears
like nobody from the international community is paying attention to the current
wave of peaceful protest sweeping across Biafraland and some part of Nigeria.
well, the reverse is the case here as many well known figures and government around
the world have been laying their voice to that effect. They started by calling
for the immediate released of the leader of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB)
and the director of Radio Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the detention of the
Nigerian secret police DSS, now it has snowballed into calling for immediate
referendum that will be supervised by the UN, Commonwealth, and other reputable
international bodies.

The British
government that was playing the ostrich concerning the plight of Biafrans
within the contraption called Nigerian, has finally raise their head or about
to raise their head to see the evil they created over hundred years ago. Now
the British Parliament has called for Biafra Independence from Nigeria and
urged the federal government to conduct a referendum in the nearest possible
time.
Read the
motion below:
2015-16:
Session.
03.12.2015: Date tabled.
Tom
Elliott: Primary sponsor.
Danny
Kinahan: Sponsor.
“That this
House recognises the calls for the independence of territories that constituted
the Biafran Republic; acknowledges the Biafran issue could be improved with the
co-operation of the Nigerian government by offering a referendum; and urges the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office to use its diplomatic strength to assist in the
resolution of this matter.”
On a similar
move, the issue of Biafra and indiscriminate killing of Biafrans by the
Buhari’s men have gone unnoticed, many voice are coming up from expected and
unexpected quarters to condemned the brutality of the Nigerian security
personnel against the defenseless Biafrans who are demanding a just and
legitimate course to be free as indigenous people.
Meanwhile,
Washington-based NGO Organization of Emerging African States (Oeas) which advocates for people’s right to self
determination has warned that Nigeria could risk a “civil strife” if the
demands of Biafrans are not met.
In a statement
released on 4 December, the organisation also said Nigeria should hold a
referendum on the Biafra issue within 90 days with independent observers
supervising the polls.
