The Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the United States of Biafra, Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, says European countries’ quest for oil resources is the reason for persistent killings and insecurity in the South-East and Biafraland region of Nigeria.
Orabueze disclosed this in a statement shared via her X account on Thursday.
Her comment comes amid a recent Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline deal signed by Nigeria, which would transport billions of cubic metres of gas 4,128 kilometres (2,565 miles) from Nigeria in West Africa through Niger and on to Algeria, then pump the undersea Mediterranean pipeline, Transmed, to Italy.
Reaction: Dr. Orabueze said insecurity and militarization of Biafraland were due to the capture of resource deposits in the region.
According to her, the killings in the South-East have continued untamed because Europe is interested in exporting petroleum products from oil and gas-rich regions.
She added that the invasion of South-east over oil resources will be resisted by USB.
“Europe’s quest for oil in Biafraland is the major reason for the continued invasion, killings, and occupation of a sovereign state, the United States of Biafra, by Nigeria.
“This invasion and occupation will become resisted, and Biafrans must defend themselves and their land. Nigeria is mandated to leave Biafra nation.”
