HOUSTON (November 10, 2005) ERHC Energy (ERHE.OB) announced today that Pannell
Kerr Forster of Texas, P.C. ("PKF") has resigned as the company's independent

not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.

During ERHC Energy's fiscal years September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the
subsequent interim periods preceding PKF's resignation, PKF advised us that
there were no disagreements between the company and PKF on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing
scope or procedure, which if not resolved, would have caused the company to make
reference to the subject matter in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
