Biafra activist, Mr Simon Ekpa appears not to be backing down on his movement as he announced on Friday that the United States Department of Justice has officially registered the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, as an entity for Biafra Independence.
This is coming at a time the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu offered room for a possible dialogue with the Nigerian government.
A week ago, Ekpa insisted that the declaration of Biafra Independence would restore peace to the West African region.
Ekpa, who is known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE through his official X handle on Friday, said the decision by the US Department of Justice was a step in the right direction.
He said the US Justice Department approved all paperwork requesting legitimacy.
“Following the approval of the United States Department of Justice, the Biafra Republic Government In Exile BRGIE is now an officially registered entity with the United States Department of Justice,” he said.
