Biafra wedding cake: DSS invites Ebonyi PDP Publicity Scribe
From Chinedu Nwafor, Abakaliki
The Department of State Services (DSS), Ebonyi State Command, has reportedly invited the Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ebonyi State, Mr Nwoba Chika Nwoba, over his wedding cake which was prepared with insignia of the defunct Republic of Biafra.
The Oracle Today had earlier today reported how Mr Nwoba surprised his guests at his wedding reception ground, when he unveiled a cake designed with everything that has do with the defunct Biafra Republic.
Nwoba who confirmed his invitation by DSS through his post on his official Facebook wall, said the DSS, had summoned him to appear in their Abakaliki office by 12 noon on Tuesday, June 28.
Nwoba wrote, “Got invitation from the DSS, Abakaliki office tomorrow by 12 pm. I knew I would be invited. As a law abiding citizen, if the road is clear tomorrow, I will honour it.”
Mr Nwoba’s invitation by the DSS may not be unconnected to his wedding cake which caused stir on the social media.
The Nigeria government following the prosecution of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) banned everything that’s associated with defunct Biafra Republic, and anyone found with an item bearing Biafra insignia faces arrest and prosecution by government.
Nwoba had told our Correspondent in a telephone chat on Sunday that he did his wedding cake with Biafra insignia to solidarity to the Biafra course.
According to him, every Igbo man no matter your political affiliation ought to embrace the struggle for the creation of Biafra.
He, however, said he was not in support of violent Biafra agitations.
“I actually did it to passage a message, that no matter our political inclinations, we still have the interest of Igbo nation at heart. It is to show my love and my commitment to ensuring that the gospel for the creation of a country of Igbo extraction, comes to fruition.
“So, I’m a fan of Biafra agitation. That’s why I said, okay, in order to contribute to the Biafra struggle, I have to do my cake, giving it a Biafra colors. I’m not against Biafra agitation, but I’m against going about it violently. I did it just to show my concern,”he said.
Nwoba’s wedding took place on Saturday, June 25, 2022, at St. Joseph Anglican church, in his country home, Ekpelu community in Ikwo LGA of the State. The reception also took place in the community primary school.
