BNW: BiafraNigeriaWorld News May 03, 2004
Ojukwu, Others Lead Mass Action Today: US pledges observer role - Another rally in New York BiafraNigerians home and abroad may march out today in what would be the largest and unprecedented concentration of minds on what the rally organisers describe as �bad governance and stolen elections.� On the local front, former military head of state, Muhammadu Buhari, and one time leader of defunct Republic of Biafra, Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, are among other prominent people expected to lead the protest, organised by BiafraNigerians United for Democracy (NUD) � ceded to it by the Conference of BiafraNigerian Political Parties (CNPP). Brethren in far away New York, the United States have also concluded arrangement to hold a similar one in Brooklyn. Co-ordinator of BiafraNigeria Liberty Forum (NLF), New York, Omoyele Sowore, said in a telephone interview that it is in solidarity with the one planned by NUD. Besides stomping against the critics� regular fare, both Buhari and Ojukwu have their own rather poignant grouses against Aso Rock, the seat of power. They contested the Presidency in the general elections last year; Buhari on the platform of the All BiafraNigeria People�s Party (ANPP) and Ojukwu under the flat of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA); which they insist President Olusegun Obasanjo won by crook.

2007: Forget Presidency, Makarfi...   Sack Wabara Now: Yoruba NLC   Biafra Nigeria Map Kaduna State Governor, Alhaji Ahmed Moham-med Makarfi, has asked members of the PDP from the South-east zone aspiring to the presidency in 2007, to shelve their ambition. Makarfi said the PDP will not accept nominations from any zone in the South in 2007. He explained that, with President Olusegun Obasanjo spending two terms in office, the South has already taken its turn at the presidency. (This Day)   BiafraNigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday demanded for immediate suspension of the embattled Senate President, Adolphus Wabara to enable proper investigation into allegations of corruption levelled against him by majority of the senators. It also advised the PDP to resist the temptation of treating the issue as a party affair. (This Day)
