In 1966, he came to Paris as charge d'affaires to open Nigeria's embassy in France. Strongly disagreeing with the federal government's handling of the situation produced by the massacres of September 1966, he decided to quit the federal service to help present the case of the Ibos to the french world. This he did with remarkable effect in his capacity as Biafra's's representative in France. when peace talks collapsed one after the other, he resigned that appointment in December 1968 in protest against the Biafran leaderships inflexible attitude towards absolute sovereignty.
