PM News reports that the OEAS wants a snap referendum to be held within 90 days with OEAS, UNPO, and UN, EU and AU nonaligned observers supervising the balloting process.
The OEAS noted that in the case of a secession, all “Property of the federal government within the borders of Biafra will become property of Biafra. The Nigerian government however will retain all national debt. Biafra will then release the Nigerian government from any obligation to pay reparations for crimes committed during the war of independence 1967-1970.”
According to the group, the people of Biafra have waited almost 50 years to legitimize their choice. There is no need to prolong the process.
They are of the opinion that "a lengthy delay will no doubt result in violence and bloodshed as out of the area ruffians and intimidators come into the region to try to unlawfully influence results."
OEAS informs that all persons living within the confines of the borders of the former Republic of Biafra as of January 1, 2016 will be eligible to vote.

"In addition, persons living outside the borders who can demonstrate significant ties to Biafra by family or property may choose to vote as well," the group added.
"After an orderly transition period of no more than 180 days, Biafra will again be independent. Those who wish to maintain their Nigerian citizenship may do so but will be under Biafran rule and must affirmatively register themselves as aliens. Likewise, those outside Biafra with ties to Biafra may become Biafran citizens after renouncing Nigerian citizenship," the OEAS informed.
In clarification of issues pertaining to the borders, the OEAS said Nigeria must be settled by the time of independence in order to avoid disorder and discord.
The group insists that Biafra should not be obligated to follow any agreements between Cameroun and Nigeria.
They further stress that any loss of territory must be subject to a democratic referendum.
With an emphatically "yes", the OEAS believes that all details outlined are attainable.
"The people of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea made their choice to leave Ukraine under far more stressful circumstances. The vote was so overwhelmingly in favor that no country has seriously challenged the will of the people," the group debates.
In conclusion, the group noted that a Truth and Reconciliation Commission composed of Biafrans and other experts will establish the truth and investigate political and genocidal crimes from 1967 to present.
