US first-ever congressional briefing on Biafra opens door to int’l recognition – BRGIE
Amid claims of genocidal killing of Christians in Nigeria, the Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government in Exile has said that the United States Congressional briefing is an open door to international recognition.
BRGIE disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday, explaining details of the congressional briefing.
According to BRGIE, the US Congressional briefing on Biafra was held on September 18th, 2025.
During the briefing, Michael Rubin, senior fellow of the American Enterprise Institute, and Ogechukwu Nkere, Acting Prime Minister (APM) of BRGIE, were keynote speakers, according to a video released on X.
On his part, Nkere expressed the desire of BRGIE to enter into economic, defence, and military deals with the United States and called on the US government to sanction Nigeria for alleged human rights abuses against Biafrans.
He also demanded the release of Indigenous People of Biafra leader Nnamdi Kanu by Nigeria and Simon Ekpa by Finland.
“The United States Congress held a congressional briefing on Biafra on September 18, 2025, the first ever congressional briefing on Biafra in modern history.
“The congressional briefing also demonstrates Mr Nkere, who has close ties with the US government, has emerged as the new leader of the Biafran independence movement after the incarceration of Ekpa,” the statement reads.
DAILY POST recalls that some US lawmakers have been alleging that at least 7,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria this year, 2025 alone.
However, the Nigerian Government continues to insist that there is no targeted attack on Christians in the country.
