Biafra De Facto Customary Government Berates President Tinubu on Electricity Tariff, Demands Overhaul of the Entire Colonial System

https://bdfcg.org/biafra-de-facto-customary-government-berates-president-tinubu-on-electricity-tariff-demands-overhaul-of-the-entire-colonial-system/

In light of recent developments regarding the increase in electricity tariff and the exorbitant cost of petroleum products, we, the Biafra De Facto Customary Government, wish to express our grave concerns and condemnation.

We have noted that the ruling political elites in Nigeria belong to only one tribe - Corruption. This is why they have subjected ordinary people to emotional, mental, psychological, and physical torture. The ruling political class, like in Animal Farm, has kept ordinary people in perpetual cat-and-mouse situations.

The BDFCG has viewed the recent increase in electricity tariff, as well as the high cost of petroleum products, as efforts to further reduce people's purchasing power.

This tariff increase is not only a reckless move, it is also a complete disregard for the well-being and welfare of indigenous people with a significant negative impact on the already struggling population, further exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor.

We wish to emphasize in this statement that the breakdown of the new electricity tariff revealed an alarming burden that the owners of the land will face in affording electricity daily, which unambiguously displays the government’s blatant disregard for the well-being of its citizens and a betrayal of the trust placed in this current administration under President Bola Tinubu.

Sadly, the cost of petroleum products is too exploitative; wickedness has taken over our land. And this is about the time indigenous populations in Nigeria took over their lands and redistributed their resources equitably and evenly in their own terms at the rate that will be affordable to all and sundry.

It is imperative that immediate action be taken to rectify these unjust policies and ensure that the basic needs of the people are met without undue financial strain.

Biafra De Facto Customary Government (BDFCG) Elects New Chancellor

In a bid to strengthen the democratic culture and make Biafra government institutions people-driven, the Biafra parliament has elected a new Head of Government to replace Dr. Emeka Okeadu. In a majority decision, Anselmo Onyebuchi Udowelle was elected the new Chancellor effective 16th March 2024. Comrade Udowelle is expected to steer the ship of the Biafra De Facto Customary Government for the first term of two years.

The Biafran public is, by this announcement, expected to accord the new chancellor every needed support to succeed as we all march to the promised land. Comrade Udowelle will be assisted by other Executive Officers as well as members of the Parliament.

We congratulate Comrade Udowelle for being the 4th Chancellor of the Biafra De Facto Customary Government. We must continue to show the rest of Nigerians how to serve the people and run democratic institutions devoid of personal interest.

Thank you.

1999 CONSTITUTION FITS NIGERIA POLITICAL ENTITY -
Biafra De Facto Customary Government believes in People's Sovereignty

https://bhradvocates.com/post.php?post=138

The fitness of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution is strongly evidenced by the various irresponsibilities emanating from government organs and agencies. This is currently exemplified by the recent deliberation of the National Assembly to procure 360 brand-new Toyota Prado SUVs, each valued at N160 million, for members of the House of Representatives, amidst the 'multi-dimensional' impoverishment of more than two-thirds of the population.

The World Health Checklist for the comity of nations ranks Nigeria as a failed political entity. Unfortunately, stakeholders and abstract citizens continue to display a carefree attitude toward such a consolidated alert. Of course, the frameworks and outcomes for any nation under such conditions are symbolized in the Constitution, with its disastrous chain of results.

BDFCG believes it is high time for us not to shy away from our responsibility. Enough of shame and pride games. Citizens must be able to truly participate and be represented in all matters that have to do with their sovereign rights.

It is a stark reality that the 1999 Constitution, often touted as the supreme law of the land, has served as an instrument of oppression, allowing those in power to perpetuate their interests at the expense of the people. This oppressive constitution has been a driving force behind the excessive centralization of power, reminiscent of the colonial era. In short, it's neo-colonialism in disguise. The central government, from the time of colonial administration to the neo-colonial era, has wielded disproportionate and unchecked power, to the detriment of the Nigerian people. As far back as 1944, the colonial government promulgated the Minerals Ordinance, a decree that vested all subsurface rights and minerals in Nigeria in the central (colonial administrator) and later the federal government. Shockingly, this unjust arrangement persists to this day.

However, enough with the embattled colonial excuses. Despite decades of struggle and governance changes, there has been no orchestrated demand for a comprehensive revision of the ownership of subsurface rights, allowing the central government to maintain its vice-like grip on these essential resources.

The current generation of politicians, unfortunately, has moved even further away from this historical pattern and has instead exacerbated it. The recent irresponsible deliberation by a pivotal organ of the Constitution demonstrates a blatant example of the insensitivity that pervades the corridors of power.

Though often sprouting statements about civic duty and collective awareness, like that of former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili's warning that "you all (constitutional lawmakers) are the biggest threat to our democracy", we must emphasize that a day cometh, and very soon too, when it will be your fed-up Nigerian citizens, not the military, who will rise up and collectively chase all of you grossly irresponsible and insensitive people out of office.

As for BDFCG, the action for remedy is multifaceted. Citizens must be at the forefront to play their civic roles, just like other state organs and agencies - lawmakers, the military, etc.

The time has come for all well-meaning Nigerians to unite in their demand for a constitution that serves the people and not the interests of a select few. Constitutional sovereignty resides in the people, not in juntas, bandits, or the ruling class.
