He said: “In line with our principle of non-
violence towards establishing a sovereign
control over the territorial boarders of the
New Biafra, a Catholic Priest, Rev. Fr.
Samuel Aniebonam has been appointed the

Electoral Commission, (B-INEC).
“The Chairman, with other anointed men and
women of God as members, will supervise
the internal election into the offices of the
new Biafra Government on February 22.”
“Our election will not be like Nigeria’s
election, it will be a transparent one. In
Biafra, there won’t be electoral fraud. The
tenure of the elected Regional Governor or
Minister would be four years and nine

tribunal against your opponent. This is why
members of the commission would be men
and women of God.”

with democratic ideals and international best
practices, which Biafra was based on.
