Cross River agog for Biafra: Warms up to host Biafra International Youth Congress

The Cross River Regional Chapter of Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL) has indicated its readiness to host delegates who will be coming from other places for the Biafra International Youth Congress scheduled to hold in the Ikom area of the state on February 27, 2016.

A statement issued by BNYL Regional Coordinator Ebuta Takonsaid: “Cross River Region is the most conducive area for our Congress; it is Cross River that has the highest number of ethnic groups in Biafra as a whole.”

Ebuta Takon stressed that the congress, which is expected to be attended by delegates from Ambazonia, Cameroon, is imperative.

His words: “We are always at the receiving end in Nigeria; our presence is not always welcomed anywhere in Nigeria apart from our home. For us to achieve Biafra, the various ethnic groups must be united, and that is why we the BNYL are working round the clock in mobilising

from across the various ethnic groups of Biafran origin.”

He added: “I want to make it known that the people of Cross River do not need anybody to consult them like others are waiting; we have every right to stand up for Biafra like our Igbo brethren are doing.

“On the day of our congress Biafrans will be astonished to see the overwhelming number of Cross River indigenes that will be present.”
