(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Ex-militant leader, Asari Dokubo, declared himself the leader of the new Biafra defacto Customary Government (BCG)

The Head of Information and Communication of the customary government, Uche Mefor announced this in a statement on Sunday

According to the statement, George Onyibe will be the Secretary, while Emeka Esiri will take care of legal matters

Mefor stated that the injustice and marginalization of the Igbos in the various zones of the country is the reason behind the new government

Dokubo disclosed that the defacto administration will solve insecurity challenges faced by the Igbos and improve the lives of the people of the region

According to Dokubo, the BCG resolved to take its destiny in its hands and bring freedom to children and generations of Biafrans yet unborn.

He stated that he hesitated a little, “but I thank God that it’s time for us to do our duty and our service to the motherland, I have accepted this role. I have dedicated my life a hundred percent to play this role”.

He said: “I want to call on our brother, George Onyibe to come on board to join as the secretary of the defacto customary government of the State of Biafra. He will take care of the administrative, day to day administration of the Biafra State. I also call on our brother Emeka Esiri to take care of the legal needs of this nascent government

“My brothers and sisters, the four of us will kick start the process, others will come on board. We want volunteers who are committed; we want volunteers because there is nothing anymore. We are the people who have volunteered to salvage ourselves and the rest of us

“I also call on Biafrans in the various province of the Biafra nations in Aba, Abakiliki, Anang, Awka, Calabar, Degema, Eket, Enugu, Nsukka, Ogoja, Oji River, Okigwe, Onitsha, Opobo, Orlu, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Umuahia, Uyo and Yenegoa province

“We are going to proceed to set up provincial structures of government starting with provincial assemblies and provincial governance and administrators. Let nobody be mistaking that Biafra will be worse than Nigeria”

Dokubo highlighted the areas the government will concentrate on saying that securing the lives and properties is paramount

He said that there will be investment in science and technology “to increase the scientific and technological discoveries, fabrications and making life easier for people through science and technology”

Dokubo also stated that education and agriculture are key areas of focus and he kicked at the stoppage of food transportation to the South

“You are all aware of the recent plot where they decided to stop food from the north. They failed woefully, they will continue to fail. The Government of Biafra States will look to make sure that we only eat what we can produce

“Nobody can stop us. Nobody can blockade us as they did in the first war. We’re not going to fight any war with anybody, we’re walking to freedom. We will not shoot any gun with them, they will prepare their weapon but they will have nobody to kill with their weapon,” he added
