Finland-based Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, has insisted that there is no June 12, Nigeria’s democracy day celebration in the southeastern part of the country.
Ekpa, the self acclaimed Prime minister of Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) in a statement Tuesday said the only recognized holiday is May 30.
He urged citizens in the region to go about their businesses, saying the aspiration of the Biafra independence declaration is on the right track.
According to him, those frustrating Biafra declarations will fail.
“The Nigeria public holidays are no longer recognized as an official National Day within Biafra Territory. We only recognized the 30th of May.
“Biafrans will continue to observe international holidays while we look forward to the official national holidays upon declaration of the restoration of Biafra Independent.
“Following the announcement of June 12 as a public holiday in Nigeria, BRGIE is making it clear that Biafrans can go about their businesses without obstruction by anyone”.
He said the South east will always celebrate May 30 to honor those who died during the Civil War between 6 July 1967 and 15 January 1970.
