Speaking in Aba, during the 25th anniversary of the MASSOB/BIM, Uwazuruike said Ekpa cannot be the Prime Minister of Biafra or fighting for Biafra when he is preaching violence and not in touch with the situation at home.

The Biafran leader who was represented by the Biafran Prime Minister, Ezinne Uwaezuoke David, insisted that the independence of Biafra can only be achieved through non-violence approach which MASSOB/BIM has been advocating since 1999.

“Simon Ekpa said he’s Prime Minister of Bịafra in exile. That’s his own way of seeing things. However, we believe that one must start from home to be good before going out there in diaspora. Whatever you’re doing outside, remains an outside something until you’re back at home.

“When you stay at home to do whatever you’re doing or saying, people will know you’re serious and you have a stake in the nation you’re trying to build. He’s on his own in exile, but I’m at home just as United Nations Peoples Organization (UNPO) approved.”

Speaking on the proliferation of Pro Biafra groups, Uwazuruike assured that the groups would soon come together because the independence of Biafra is at hand.

“Today is a special day. A day that the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Bịafra (MASSOB) was founded in September 13th, 1999.

“There will be no shedding of blood again, there’ll be no shooting of gun or any form of violence in our land again because what we’re doing is a non violent agitation. Human life is very precious and we’ve moved away from anything that’ll cause us issues in Bịafra land.

“We thank God that after 25 years, we’re now at the end of the struggle. I became the Prime Minister of Bịafra this year by the recognition of the UNPO. If this journey is not recognized by the the UNPO, it’ll not have been successful.

“A child born 25 years ago, is an adult today. The issue of proliferation is not a problem. I know that each of them will return home back to their father soon.

“I know it very well that we’ve gotten to our destination. We’re waiting for the day of the celebration. We’re Biafrans and we know we’ve gotten to where we’re going.

“You can see today, nobody is being shot or killed as it used to be. From what you’re seeing today, victory is here.

“Our agitation is non violence and everybody knows it. However, in a family, all children will not have the same character. Therefore we’re not surprised to see people who are either recalcitrant or doing the unacceptable.

“However, we know that all those things will stop by the grace of God. All those groups are pro Bịafra groups, but we’ll keep urging them all to see reasons to come together and recall where we’re all coming from.”

He assured that the new Biafran government led by the prime minister, Ezinne Uwaezuoke David, has representatives from all territories of Biafra, Ugep, Yenagoa, Port Harcourt, Owerri ,among others

“We have people from Bayelsa, Rivers State, Cross River, Akwa-Ibom etc occupying position. It’s not about the South East less people get it twisted.

“The First president we had was from Rivers State, the current speaker in our government is also from Rivers State.”
