A senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and investor, Michael Rubin has called on the United States to support the self-actualization of Biafra.
The leader of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, Simon Ekpa applauded the call by the US investor’s call.
Ekpa reacted through a statement on his official X account on Thursday.
An article, titled ‘The Next Administration Must Keep an Eye on Nigeria’ published on Tuesday in an American Journal highlighted the need for whoever emerged as US state president in the forthcoming presidential election to back the call for Biafra Liberation.
In his words, Rubin said owing to Biafran’s continued agitation for liberation, “Biafrans, it seems, want self-determination. Even if they do not declare independence, however, the Nigerian government’s unwillingness to address ethnic persecution and anti-Christian discrimination cannot continue.”
Reacting, Ekpa lauded Rubin for highlighting the plight of Biafrans and the agitation for Biafra self-rule.
He boasted that the declaration of Biafra Independence would hold on December 2, 2024.
“Thank you Michael Rubin for highlighting the plight of the Biafran people, as well as the BRGIE self-referendum.
“It is a great honour for us to be discussed by someone of your prestige and eminence”, he said.
Recall that BRGIE claimed in July 2024 that over 50 million Biafrans voted for the Biafra referendum.
