The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government in Exile, BRGIE, has claimed that over 50 million persons have voted for self-referendum.
Ekpa, known as the Prime Minister of BRGIE, disclosed this in a statement through his official X account on Tuesday.
According to him, the flair with which Biafrans embraced the e-voting and physical voting showed their enthusiasm for liberation.
He claimed that the number of Biafrans who have voted for self-referendum in the last eight months surpassed the number of voters in the 2023 Nigerian presidential election which stood at 25,286,616 million.
He cited marginalization, underdevelopment, insecurity, attack against Christians and poverty in the South-East and South-South regions as justification for self-referendum.
“Let it be on record, the sample of the Biafra Self Referendum physical voting card has recorded over 50 million votes, double the general election result.
“50 million votes officially recorded and registered in the 40 United States of Biafra.
“We are making it happen! Tell your children this is how we did it. Let the historians go to work,” he claimed.
It could be recalled that Ekpa had last week released a map containing 40 states, describing it as the new map of Biafra.
