On Thursday thee Biafra Nation Youth League, BNYL, said Coronavirus was not a barrier to the restoration of Biafra.
BNYL made the remark while stressing that the deadly COVID-19 pandemic would not distract its members from marking Biafra Heroes Day come 30th May.
The Deputy National Leader of BNYL, Ebuta Takon Akor, made this known in Calabar, Cross River State, and was contained in a statement he sent to newsmen.
Ebuta Takon Akor alleged that Nigeria’s lockdown was not against COVID-19 but the government’s move to stop secession groups from gathering.
Ebuta Takon Akor said: “He and BNYL members have since last week been violating the lockdown and social distancing orders of the government because no law in Nigeria recognized social distancing and he cannot be prosecuted for not obeying such orders. Members of this group are immune to the virus.”
Biafra will be restored with or without the support of the Ijaw Youth Council.
“It was the mentality of some Ijaw youths that led to the reasons the government succeeded in deceiving some people in South-south to hate Biafra, and now BNYL is here with overwhelming support and membership from Cross River, Bakassi Peninsula, Akwa Ibom, Rivers and even Bayelsa been homogeneous Ijaw,” he said.
