An expert Biafra assemble is pushing for the endorsement of the Biafra cause by the disputable United States pioneer, Donald John Trump in the following two months.

The pioneer of a professional Biafran gathering, Biafra Zionists Federation, Benjamin Onwuka, has expelled the tumult by the Nnamdi Kanu-drove Indigenous People of Biafra as an "exercise in futility."
Talking in Enugu on Tuesday, Onwuka said Biafra would not be actualized by IPOB. He said Biafra would be actualized once the United States perceived his 'Biafran government.'
A legal advisor, Onwuka had on July 25, 2017, named himself between time President of Biafra while reporting a 'Biafran government' which incorporated the Prof. Pat Utomi, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, Labaran Maku, Prof. Jerry Gana, Prof. Barth Nnaji, and Chief Nina Nwodo, among others.
He stated, "We are confident that Biafra will be affirmed in December by the US since this issue of Biafra isn't about IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu, it is about America's help.
"We are currently sitting tight for Trump's support before Christmas. Whatever we are doing depends on America's political engagement.
"Biafra issue is a discretionary issue, if America does not bolster us, it won't work. Thus, IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu can't get Biafra, what the IPOB is doing is an exercise in futility."
The secessionist pronounced that Biafra would be formally announced in Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, which he said was an Igbo domain.
Declaring anticipates the autonomy of Biafra, Onwuka uncovered that a previous Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had been designated the Biafran envoy to the US.
Onwuka denounced the current visit of some South-East pioneers to President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa.
Responding to Onwuka's affirmation that the Igbo pioneers' meeting with Buhari was worthless, Ohanaeze Ndigbo said the expert Biafran activists talked in that way since they needed involvement.
Talking with a Punch reporter, National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Prince Uche Okpaga, stated, "There is this Igbo saying that says 'what a senior sees while resting, the young can't see it even while over a tree.'
"The experience of the senior citizens, the Igbo pioneers, can't be wished away.
"A significant number of the instigators are adolescents who did not see the war, that is the reason they talk the way they do however we as older folks, we don't need them to go through a similar ordeal we had.
"We don't point the finger at him (Onwuka) in light of the fact that he was talking as indicated by his level of seeing yet those of us in Ohanaeze see things contrastingly and we realize what we are attempting to secure and venture.
"The work Ohanaeze is doing isn't quantifiable, yet we trust that successors will recollect us."
