Bishop Abraham Chris Udeh, founder of Mount Zion Faith Global Liberation Ministries Inc., a.k.a
By Fire By Fire, Nnewi, Anambra State, has advised Ndigbo not to dissipate their energy on the
much talked Igbo presidency in 2023 but rather go for Biafra actualization as according to him,
from the look of things, Ndigbo has no future prospect in the Nigerian project.
He said looking at the lopsided appointments of service chiefs and other political appointments,
so far made by the present Buhari regime, coupled with incessant shootings and killings of
Igbo youths by soldiers in various parts of Igbo land, Ndigbo, including Ohanaeze does not
need a soothsayer to tell them that they do not have any stake in Nigeria, both now and in the
future.Speaking to newsmen in his office, in reaction to the recent appointment of service
chiefs, Bishop Udeh revealed that he saw in a vision where the Igbo presidency project flopped
by either the north which is in majority did not allow an Igbo man to emerge as president or
that if an Igbo man emerged, the power brokers in the north would continue to teleguide him
or worst still, cut his tenure short by ousting him out of power prematurely.
According to the cleric, “I have a revelation that Ndigbo’s quest to produce a Nigeria President
would not only amount to a fruitless venture but also an exercise in futility”.
“I insist that what would favour Ndigbo is to expedite efforts to actualize Biafran nation and not
an Igbo president because any Igbo man elected as Nigerian President would not last in office
and would be subjected to the wishes and dictates of the power brokers in Nigeria”.
“The Northern oligarchy had continued in pretence to support Nigerian President of Igbo
extraction in 2023 as if they meant it. Ndigbo should be cautious about the game plan and not
to fall for it”, he cautioned. “All the juicy appointments in the current government at the federal
level go to the North. How do you think they can easily allow an Igbo man to become a
President to lose their position just like that. It is not possible. The game plan is to
pretentiously allow an Igbo man to become President only to frustrate him”.
“Restructuring is not even a good option. I don’t support that. Biafra is the solution and
nothing less than that”, he Bishop declared.
He noted that the “much talked about” 2023 presidential election might not even hold. In his
opinion, the best thing is for all the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria to rise up and fight for
their individual nation-states diplomatically without violence, saying that the one Nigeria
project had failed.
Bishop Udeh maintained that the killings by the Boko Haram insurgents and other banditries in
the Northern part of Nigeria that had refused to abate were consequences of the millions of the
Igbo killed during the civil war, adding that the violence would only stop when the Igbo were
allowed to have Biafra.
He disagreed with the new Ohanaeze Ndigbo leadership that allegedly declared that Igbo were
not looking for Biafra. He described the comment as sabotage and advised that the Igbo apex
socio-cultural organization should be mindful of the way it addressed sensitive matters that
concerned Ndigbo.
He called on the British government to work out Biafra freedom “since they were the people
who amalgamated the Northern and Southern parts of Nigeria that have remained incompatible
till date.”
He said that the British architects of one Nigeria would not have rest until they undo what they
did “against the collective will of the people”.
He accused the African Union, AU for looking the other way while, according to him, Nigeria is
becoming Islamized.
