A Civil Rights organization, the Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET) has commended remark by the French ambassador to Nigeria Denys Gauer on his comment that there is no future for Biafra.
The group also said that Gauer’s proclamation that the French government will not support the succession of any part of Nigeria is commendable.
The executive director of CESJET Joyce Adamu while speaking to journalists in Abuja said the open declaration by the French diplomat is a welcome development.

Adamu also said that Gauer’s remark is the beginning of the world’s awakening to a reality and a befitting end to the recent distraction by Biafra agitators in Nigeria.
She also called on world leaders to recommit to Nigeria’s unity and make it clear to all Biafra agitators that would not be supported.
She said although Nigeria does not necessarily need this declaration by other nations to maintain its territorial integrity, he call is an opportunity for these nations to remedy their errors on Nigeria’s unity.

She further said, it is obvious that most of the individuals perpetrating crimes in the name of Biafra are younger than 45 years and know nothing about the 1957 Nigerian civil war.
“It is fifty years now and France’s most senior diplomat to Nigeria in the person of Ambassador Denys Gauer has made an assertion that is a pathway to correcting the error his nation made five decades ago. France that we know takes it time to analyze options before striking for the one that best satisfies its strategic national interests,” Adamu said.
“That these interests have morphed in the intervening years to recognize that the future lies in the unity of Nigeria deserves recognition and commendation.
Our expectations are that countries that formally recognized Biafra in those dark days – Gabon, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Zambia and the ones that like France provided support and assistance to Biafra like Israel, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), South Africa and the Vatican City to all toe the French example and repudiate any form of support for partitioning of the contemporary Nigeria.”

“CESJET further called on other world powers to rally behind the bold statement stance of the US, UK and now France to disown all insurgent or separatist groups or organizations that commit criminality against the Nigerian state under the guise of campaigning for self rule.
“We are aware that these groups go out to call the Queen of England, the President of the US, with the French Ambassador being a new addition, all manners of unprintable names. Such belligerent attitude is proof that members of these groups are the aggressors while the majority of Nigerians are victims of their extremism,” she said.

Adamu further charged these nations to deploy teams of cyber experts to check the menace of fake news that is driven in large part by Biafran separatists.
She said, such action may appear harmless on the surface but is one of the tools the separatists agitators are using to recruit and brainwash more youths whom they promise asylum in the US, UK and France on the strength of fake news that proclaim that these countries endorse Biafra when the reverse is the case.
