There’s No part of Niger Delta will be ceded to Biafra —BRACED Commission

The National President of a socio-political pressure group in the vanguard of regional development of the six South-South states, BRACED Union (BU), Chief Wehere Monday, has reiterated the need for Biafra agitators to desist from including any part of the South-South region of BRACED into their proposed Biafra enclave....Read Full Article >>➤

Chief Wehere made this pronouncement as a fall out from an emergency congress of BRACED Union which held on BU’s virtual platforms on Sunday.

The pro-South-South group frowned at the recurring trend of Biafra proponents craftily including Niger Delta ethnic nationalities into their Biafra map.

Describing the trend as disturbing, the BU helmsman emphasised that no part of the South-South Region should be added to their Biafra map as BRACED States are independent of the South-East which is primarily made up of Igbo tribes and the BRACED states are not Igbos.

On the current move by the Federal Government to re-introduce regional governments as federating units of the Nigerian nation, as part of the federal government’s restructuring policy, the BU national president commended the gesture for the executive bills to the National Assembly to that effect.

BU also lauded the ongoing bill for the South-South Development Commission (SSDC) and appealed that an experienced hand such as Ambassador Joe Keshi, be made the pioneer Director-General of the proposed SSDC as his experiences and exposure on regional and global development are second to none.

He thanked President Tinubu for the steps taken towards the re-introduction of regional government, as this will go a long way to give bite to talks on restructuring which has hitherto become more of campaign rhetoric than actual action.
