Biafra Zionist Movement Executive suspends leader

Three days to the planned formation of Biafran government by its acclaimed leader, Mr. Ben Onwuka, some executive members of the Biafra Zionist Movement, BZM, have announced the suspension of Mr. Onwuka.

The group, made up of the National Chairman, Edeson Samuel, National secretary Nweke Monday and Treasurer Friday Ogbonna, while addressing a press conference in Enugu on Sunday urged Biafran faithful to disregard the earlier announcement that the group will be inaugurating the Biafran government on February 20th.

National Chairman of the BZM Mr. Samuel Edeson who led the group said in his address that: “BZM wishes to inform the general public that Mr. Benjamin Igwe Onwuka has been suspended from the group from this day February 2, 2013.

“We the executive arm of the BZM also wishes to alert the public that the so called inauguration of Biafra government slated for February 20, is not in our plans for now and therefore should be ignored.”

He alleged that Onwuka was acting in disregard of decisions of the national executive council which was the highest organ of the organization, thus had decided to call him to order through a suspension.

“BZM is not a one-man show and we cannot allow anybody to treat the decisions of the executive council with disdain”, he added.

However, in a swidt reaction to his alleged suspension, leader of the group Mr. Ben Onwuka dismissed claims of his suspension describing his critics as persons being used by detractors to frustrate the efforts of the BZM.

He insisted that nothing will stop the inauguration of the Biafra government on February 20th.

But the BZM leader Mr. Onwuka who said he was just rising from a meeting with his group said: “I want to tell you that these people are being used to cause trouble in BZM.

“The people who addressed you have long seized to be members of BZM; they were sacked because of their roles and for allowing themselves to be used as instruments of destabilization of the Biafran struggle”.
