On the 23rd of June 2016, the people of Britain voted in
ahistorical showdown on Brexit that saw the UK out of the European union.in
just few days after Brexit, Biafrans all over the world cried out the more for
a Biafrexit.
The UK left the EU which is a factor many has considered as signal to cause another Scottish referendum. ‘’Following the recent indications available, the people of Scotland would begin their agitation to separate from Britain’’. This is in accordance with a statement released by IPOB. It further reads
"We have to re-emphasize here that self-determination
is a right that must be exercised by all free people. “We also note the faulty
argument by David Cameron and the British Government that they do not want to
alter the pre-independence territorial integrity of Nigeria," continued
the statement.
"But this same territorial integrity of Nigeria was
tampered with by the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun. We recall that in 1982 Britain
went to war with Argentina over the Falkland Islands but this same Britain
never supported Nigeria to prevent the ceding of Bakassi to Cameroun.
"From the success of BREXIT, we call upon the incoming
Prime Minister to work with Buhari to speedily organize BIAFREXIT. The time has
come for BIAFREXIT and Britain must support it."
Biafrans all over the world had demonstrated previously
demanding for the republic of Biafra which was forcibly annexed to Nigeria in
1914.Although the republic of Biafra was declared and experienced only three
years of statehood it was re-annexed in 1970 after a bitter war that left
millions dead. Biafrans has always been
demanding for their republic inspite of the means/medium used by the Nigerian
gov’t to keep the country as one.
