The Pro-biafran agitator and leader of Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, Simon Ekpa, has pledged to back all United Nations Human Rights Treaties in its coming Biafran declaration convention. 

Announcing this via an X handle space meeting on Thursday, he noted that supporting all UN treaties on human rights is sufficient to amplify the continued marginalisation of the Nigerian government against Biafra and its people in the South-East region.

He stressed that Biafrans have been under attack in the history of Nigeria since 1967, reiterating that the continued marginalisation of Biafra by the Nigerian government is the sole reason for self-rule. 

“We are agitating for Biafra independence due to the persistent marginalisation of the people of eastern region, and for the Biafra Government to assent to all United Nations Human Rights Treaties during the convention,” it stated.

Meantime, Ekpa re-echoed his stand and to announce November 28 to December 2nd 2024 for the Biafra Declaration, while recalling an earlier letter of invitation to the federal government ahead of the convention. 

He also noted that since 2021, Nnamdi Kanu had been under detention over Biafra liberation.
