Don’t negotiate with Nigeria for Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu release- BRGIE warns Southeast Govs

Biafran Republic Government in-Exile has warned Southeast governors, and leaders to stay clear of negotiation for Biafra declaration and the release of Nnamdi Kanu with Nigeria.

The Prime Minister of BRGIE, Simon Ekpa disclosed this in a statement on Sunday through his official X handle.

This comes as Southeast governors, groups from the region and the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi recently drummed support for the release of Nnamdi Kanu as a panacea to peace in the region.

However, BRGIE, headed by Ekpa has warned southeast governors, and leaders against negotiation for a political solution and Biafra Liberation as they lack legitimacy.

According to him, it is only BRGIE that has the legitimate right to call for the release of Kanu and Biafra’s declaration.

He noted that those parading in the name of negotiating for Nnamdi Kanu’s release are sabotaging Biafra liberation.

“Those selfish politicians and traditional rulers who are now jumping up and shouting negotiation with Nigeria after sabotaging the Biafra liberation are warned never to speak again. The warning will not come again, this is the last warning, none of you have the mandate to speak for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or Biafrans.
“We will not allow anyone to negotiate anything from tonight (Sunday).

“The Biafra Republic Government In Exile remains the only legitimate entity to do that. Those selfish individuals now taking center stage and shouting negotiations should stay away or you disappear. Biafrans are not joking”, he said.

Recall that in the past week, the call for Kanu release resonated in the media space after Southeast governors met in Enugu state. In a communique read by Governor Hope Uzodinma after the meeting on July 3, 2024, the governors resolved to meet with President Bola Tinubu to secure Kanu’s release.
