It was excitement galore at the Freedom House in Owerri, Imo state capital weekend following the alleged admission of Biafra Football Federation, ( BFF) by the Confederation of Independent Football Associations ( CONIFA), to participate in global tournament.
Consequently, the founder and leader of the Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, otherwise called
Biafra Independent Movement, BIM, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, encouraged both male and female Biafra youths to avail themselves of this great opportunity to
showcase their talents and become known in the International
community.
It was gathered that CONIFA Global President, Mr. Per- Anders Blind, had officially written Chief
Ralph Uwazuruike, through his foreign representative, Mr. Ikenna Obibi Egeonu, to Biafra Football Federation, BFF, informing him of the new development.
Ralph Uwazuruike who felt excited that CONIFA just admitted Biafra
nation as one of the countries to participate in their global football
events, noted that by this admission, Biafra would participate in all the football
activities of the global body.
In a statement signed by his personal Assistant on Media Matters , Elder Chris Mocha, and made available to newsmen in Onitsha, Uwazuruike encouraged the leaders of Biafra Internal Government to continue with non violent posture, recalling that last
April, the Unrepresented Nations and People’s Organization
admitted Biafra as the 46th member-Nation because of her stance in non violence.
He explained that, “Confederation of Independent football
Associations, CONIFA, informed us too that one of the reasons why they admitted us was because we are members of UNPO.”
” You can now appreciate the importance of non violence in our Biafra struggle”, he said.
He therefore directed the Biafran Minister of sports to do the needful by allowing every Biafran to participate once he or she is talented stressing that the country to be represented is Biafra which no body is the owner .
“Money and influence have no role to play in the selection of people.
what matters here is capability and talent. This achievement was made by all Biafrans and at the end all Biafrans must enjoy it,” Uwazuruike stated.
