Dr Obidi Obienu, the Chancellor of Biafra Defacto Customary Government, has called on all eligible Biafrans to get their PVCs and exercise their democratic rights.
He also urged all Biafrans to embrace the democratic process and play what he described as Biafra territorial politics in order to take political control of Biafra land, which he said is the unrivalled pathway to Biafra Restoration.
In a statement made available to News Band Newspaper by the group, Dr Obidi Obienu vehemently condemned the kidnappings for ransom, targeted assassinations of Biafrans and senseless murders/slaughtering of Igbo Biafran sons and daughters.
He said, “Violent armed attacks on civilians, the systematic degrading and destruction of democratic institutions such as the electoral offices and mass murder of the vulnerable population in Biafra land.
“The sundry cases of human rights abuse, including violations of the right to life, freedom to be free from torture, freedom of movement and expression, and association/ peaceful assembly.
“Economic sabotage using the armed enforcement of the self-destructive sit-at-home leading to anarchy, lawlessness, and chaos – manifesting as physical intimidation, stoppage of vehicular movement, extortion, harassment and prevention of ordinary people from engaging in their day-to-day economic activities.”

He went further to also condemn murderous Fulani herdsmen terrorizing the people of the southeast and South-South region, urging the governors to urgently enforce the ban on open grazing in line with international standards.
He noted with grave concern that the atrocities of these terror group constitute a grave crimes against humanity, which boils down on the shoulder of International Criminal Court (ICC) to hold these perpetrators criminally liable.
Obidi however, noted that the cornerstone of the Biafra restoration struggle is the international human rights law, as such, any conduct outside imbibing human rights ethos in the piloting of Biafra affairs is clear criminality.
He concluded by calling on communities in the entire Southeast and South South geopolitical zone to collectively collaborate with the law enforcement agencies and expose the criminals who masquerade as freedom fighters but go about torturing, maiming, murdering, decapitating Igbo Biafran sons and daughters. According to him, that is not freedom fighting but mere criminality and barbarism.
