BRGIE Effort with Senator Ted Cruz - U.S. Congress to Promote Christian Genocide Recognition in Nigeria.
Acting Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) Ogechukwu Nkere is proud to announce BRGIE's role in being a key behind-the-scene force of the ‘Christian genocide’ narrative in the US Congress. Acting Prime Minister Nkere took over the Biafran independence movement after the incarceration of Simon Ekpa. In particular, Acting Prime Minister Nkere has engaged with Senator Ted Cruz and met him on several occasions to discuss the ‘genocide’ of Christians in Nigeria and Biafra for over the year, and encouraged the Senator and other members of Congress to sanction Nigeria. Senator Ted Cruz introduced legislation S.2747 - Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025, which would sanction Nigeria and Nigerian officials for their persecution of Christians.
According to Acting Prime Minister Nkere “The discussion of Christian genocide in Nigeria by the US Congress is not accidental. We have promoted this narrative. It is highly orchestrated effort. The BRGIE has the top lobbying firms and international attorneys in Washington DC. I have met with many senior US officials, including Senator Ted Cruz, to discuss these issues.”
“The BRGIE and Biafrans all over the world are grateful to Senator Ted Cruz for his stellar leadership. His historic legislation is a game changer, and has put the government of Nigeria on notice.”
“I want to also let all Nigerian officials know that we won’t hesitate to provide names to Senator Cruz and the US government of who the guilty parties are, and who should be sanctioned.”
“We are moving through the political process in a systematic way to achieve the goal of Biafra. The promotion of the Christian genocide narrative will normalize the idea, both to the US and to the entire international community, for a separate country for a bulk of Nigeria’s Christians, which we refer to as ‘Biafra’. We most welcome the ‘intervention’ of the United States in Nigeria.”
