Biafra Defacto Customary Government has charged Ndigbo to get their PVCs and actively get involved in February’s election.
The recent call by the Biafra group is coming after some rogue elements called for the boycott of the election.
Biafra Customary Government in a statement by its Director of Communication, Uche-Mefor, which a copy was made available to News Band Newspaper, urged all eligible Igbos of voting age to get their PVCs and vote.
According to Mefor, the Igbos are Biafrans by indigenous Identity but will still remain citizens of Nigeria by nationality.
He however, added that until that is politically CLARIFIED, the Igbos must continue to assert their citizenship privileges and defend their democratic rights as appropriate.
The statement reads, “In line with the intentions and vision of the Biafra De Facto Customary Government, the Biafra Parliament urges all Biafrans to participate actively in the Biafra territorial politics by embracing the democratic process.
