Barely few hours the ex-militant leader, Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo announced himself as the leader of the new Biafra defacto Customary Government (BCG) which is another version of the Biafra agitation movement, Biafran Transitional Government [BTG] yesterday inaugurated a 60-man Provisional Representatives of both Upper and Lower Chambers of the Biafran Transitional Parliament BTP.

BTG also lamented on the continued detention of its members, calling for their unconditional immediate release or they may disrupt the upcoming Anambra election.

The Spokesman of Biafra National Guard, BNG, Col Nsikak Apkan in a press release to newsmen after the inauguration ceremony which took place at the Biafran National Guard [BNG] Headquarters in Nsukka Province said that the election and swearing-in of Mark Roman [Degema Province] and Mrs. Alabrah Stephanie [Sagbama Province] as Head and Deputy Head of the Upper chamber of the parliament respectively was a welcomed development.

Col Nsikak Apkan disclosed that Mrs. Okiemute Amughghoro [Warri Province] and Chief Okwudili Nwaoha [Awka Province] took oaths as Principal and Deputy Principal Lower chamber BTP.

In his address, the Head of the Upper chamber, Mark Roman [Degema Province pledged the support and loyalty of the transitional parliament to the people of Biafra.

He reassured the Biafra National Guard, BNG, that whatever is necessary to accelerate the total restoration of Biafra sovereignty shall be provided without hesitation.

Also, he endorsed the planned disruption of the 2021 governorship poll in Anambra state as announced by BNG citing the continued detention of innocent and defenseless Biafrans held for over 15 years in Awka and Onitsha Prisons by the Nigerian State.

Continuing, he reiterated that the support of the BTP on the disruption of the planned poll in defunct Anambra state is unwavering.

He queried why terrorists in northern-Nigeria are granted amnesty and tagged ‘repentant’ while innocent Biafrans are incarcerated for decades because they seek their right to self-determination recognized, reaffirmed, and solemnly proclaimed by international laws and instruments.

Mark Roman berated the occupying Nigeria Senators and Representatives especially those of Biafran stock for their docility and conspiratorial silence in the face of subjugation and marginalization of Biafrans by the Fulani -controlled Nigeria state. He warned those politicians to quit living in denial of the troubled state of Nigeria for the days of reckoning is fast approaching as their claim that Nigeria is united is an illusion.

Mrs. Okiemute Amughghoro while speaking described as evil the collaboration of the defunct South-East governors and socio-political group ‘Ohaneze-Ndigbo’ on the proscription of freedom fighters as terrorists while genuine terrorists engaging in the kidnapping of teenage boys and girls in northern-Nigeria are paid ransoms and pleaded upon. She demanded for the immediate and unconditional release of the following
