Biafra’ from Nigeria, today, Tuesday.
The BZM leader, Benjamin Onwuka,
declared himself the ‘Interim President’
of the new nation, at a Press briefing at
the Enugu Secretariat of the Nigerian
Union of Journalists.
He also named Ministers and other top
government officials of Biafra.
The officials named by Onwuka are
prominent personalities drawn from
different areas, which the BZF leader
said were Biafran territories.
Eminent Economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, was
named the Foreign Minister, while a
former Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, CBN, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo,
has been appointed as the Governor of
the Central Bank of Biafra.

consulted the ‘appointees’, before
naming them as part of his ‘government.’
The BZF leader explained that the
nascent Biafran government was an
interim one, claiming that he had the
backing of the United States, US.
According to Onwuka, the alleged
recognition of the independence of
Biafra, was part of US foreign policy,
having been endorsed by former
President, Barack Obama, before he left
office.

BuyMart sales on Konga & Jumia have exceed a million naira. This is a business I started with just #10,000 in 2014. To be completely honest with you, the store was just an experiment.
