It is not clear if the various Ethnic nationalities that make up the State of Biafra will be in attendance or send representatives. The various Biafra Nationalist groups may be expected to send delegates to the conference and the outcome is expected to be towards a United Biafra.

This position was made known by the leader of OEAS, Dr Jonathan Akwanga on Radio Biafra. Biafra is a charter member of the OEAS and they are in the middle of a strong struggle for independence.

OEAS is a United Nations registered organization based in the United States of America and  saddled with the responsibility of assisting African Nations and States attain true independence and self determination.

You will recall that Biafra fought a 3 years bloody war with Nigeria between 1967-1970 in a bid to attain independence and was later annexed back to Nigeria in 1970. Nnamdi kanu who is the leader of IPOB is currently detained by the Nigerian Government for asking for independence of Biafra from Nigeria.
