‘Trump’s Attorney-General nominee, Matt Gaetz, receives Biafra Charter’

The self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRGIE), Simon Ekpa, has announced that Matt Gaetz, the U.S. Attorney-General designate, has received the Biafra Charter and related documents.

PlatinumPost reports that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump recently nominated Gaetz, a current member of Congress, as the Attorney-General designate.

Reacting to this development on his X social media handle on Thursday, Ekpa, who has been leading efforts for the secession of Nigeria’s South-East region, expressed optimism that Gaetz’s appointment could advance his cause.
