Another British MP has pledged allegiance to the creation of Biafra!
Standing outside the British parliament in London earlier today, pro-Biafrans held a protest against the detention of Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu.
There were joined by Angela Rayner MP, a lawmaker from the opposition left-wing Labour party.
Pro-Biafra British MP Angela Rayner
Surrounded by Biafra activists and looking confused, Raynor listens and nods while one man lauds her for speaking up for Kanu and Biafra.
“We want to see you we again, we’d like you to work with us, we are peaceful people” he says.
“But we get disappointed that Britain is now supporting Islam.”

“We no longer know if Britain is a Christian country or if it’s Islamic, we are confused, tell us which one is Britain tell us!” the man says, passing the microphone to Rayner.
“I love everybody, what fills my heart full of love is what you people have done despite all that’s happened, you people have protested in a good way, in a Christian way and are trying to raise your issues legitimately,” Rayner replies.
“I have also referred the case to Amnesty International and I will continue.”
“God willing, one day you’ll get justice!”
“Keep peaceful, keep shouting, and keep up with your cause, cause it’s a good one, it’s a true one, and hopefully, god willing, you’ll get peace one day, you’ll get justice!”
The MP’s remarks were met with wild applause by the pro-Biafra protesters, who cheered and chanted furiously in response.
“All hail Biafra! All hail Biafra!” they shouted.

Rayner became an MP last year after a long career as a trade unionist and a care worker.
Support for Biafra is growing among British MPs, with Tom Elliot and Danny Kinahan, both MPs for the right-wing Ulster Unionists, tabling a motion last December for the UK to recognise Biafra as an independent country.
However, the motion was only supported by its co-authors and another Labour politician, Yasmin Qureshi.
