A human rights lawyer and lead counsel for the Indigenous People of Biafra, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has urged Ndigbo to rise above raw emotions and destructive rhetoric by rejecting every narrative that glorifies bloodshed, division, and needless sacrifice, adding that Biafra struggle must not be built on falsehoods and propaganda.
Ejiofor noted that some individuals have continued to spread misinformation across the South-East about the struggle for the independence of Biafra, warning that such falsehoods have caused untold harm to the people.
According to him, Ndigbo should wholeheartedly embrace a peaceful, disciplined, and people-centred approach anchored on the prevailing human-faced vision of the self-determination project.
Ejiofor, who holds the title ‘Dunu–Ezeugosinachi’ of his community, stated this in a statement, insisting that the future of the Ndigbo would not be secured through the celebration of conflict, but through wisdom, strategic leadership, truth, and an unwavering commitment to the preservation of human life and dignity.
In the statement, Ejiofor said the most devastating consequences of propaganda is not merely the distortion of facts, but the gradual destruction of independent judgment.
