Nnamdi Kanu’s ‘Disciple’, Ekpa Writes UN, Announces Himself As Prime Minister Of Biafra Government In Exile, Lists Other Ministers, Office Holders

Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed disciple of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has described himself as the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).

Ekpa, in a letter to the United Nations General Assembly, dated April 13, 2023, which he personally signed, urged the global community to recognise Biafra Republic Government in Exile, which he said was established to undertake the political and administrative governance of the ‘Biafra nation’ from outside of ‘Biafra’ territory.

He also appealed to the UN to prevail on the government of Nigeria to unconditionally release Nnamdi Kanu and all ‘Biafrans’ held captive in any dungeon in Nigeria, and conduct a peaceful referendum to enable a peaceful and bloodless exit of Biafra from Nigeria.

According to the letter obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday, Ekpa stated that the indigenous people of ‘Biafra’ set up the exile government in their determination to exit the Nigerian state, while enumerating a plethora of reasons why IPOB wants the South-East region to exit from Nigeria.

He said the Biafra Government in Exile will "undertake diplomatic and foreign relationships, arrangements and agreements, negotiations and pacts with other nations and interest organisations of the world on behalf of Biafra People”.

“They are to be accorded all diplomatic privileges as due to any government official of their respective level. Biafra people, through their government in exile are sourcing for supports from all nations of the world to assist it exit Nigeria peacefully," he added.

According to the letter to the United Nations General Assembly, an election was conducted and "Mazi Simon Ekpa was elected as the Prime Minister together with other Biafra Government in Exile officials, namely; Head of Finance –Mazi Ogechukwu Nkere; Deputy Head of Finance –Hon Lady Azuka Charlesnwankwo; Defense Minister –Hon.

Obi won presidential election but INEC declared Tinubu winner – Ekpa tells UN

April 13, 2023
By Wale Odunsi

Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa on Thursday accused the Nigerian government of scuttling the election of Peter Obi at the February 25 presidential poll.

Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party, LP, rejected the result and is now in court to challenge the victory of President-elect Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In a letter to the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, seen by DAILY POST, Ekpa berated Information Minister Lai Mohammed for “lying” about the elections.

He said the official has been “junketing…telling lies and calling for a ban on all fund-raising activities of the indigenous people of Biafra with threats of sanctions”.

“Little did he say to the world, Mr. Peter Obi of the LP won the presidential election and the government and its subservient electoral body declared the ruling APC candidate (Tinubu), winner”.

Ekpa noted that even the UN has admitted the general elections “revealed ethnic, religious, demographic fault lines in Nigeria”.

The position, according to him, somehow captures the situation of Nigeria that needs urgent redress through a referendum.

Ekpa said when Obi’s running mate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, cited election irregularities, Mohammed “through his broadcasting commission slammed a N5 million fine on the television station”.

On the election in Lagos State, the secessionist said Obi defeated Tinubu, despite the disenfranchisement of “Biafra people”.

“State-sponsored political thugs went on a rampage, burning down the markets where the Biafra people are dominant and their businesses.

“Another Market was burned in Maiduguri (capital of Borno) where Eastern (Biafra) people do their businesses.

“Almost all big markets have been burned down by a combination of government security agencies and the terrorist Fulani herdsmen conducting economic jihad.”

Ekpa told the UN that killings are still going on while the burning of homes, markets and churches is being perpetrated by government-sponsored terrorists and arsonists in state uniforms.

On Eastern Security Network, ESN, he said the group made up of volunteer indigenous youths, was formed against “state-sponsored terrorists’ herdsmen and their accomplices in the military”.

What of Peter Obi. If they don't allow him to be prime minister he'll have to go to court to recover his stolen mandate

thesicilian:

I sleep just fine, thank you.

mariahAngel:


Peter Obi is giving this one sleepless nights.

renderme:
All these would have been avoided if everyone listened to Awolowo before the formation of this country.
He saw all the problems ahead. Even the calling of Lagos no man's land was a problem. It was the same Azikiwes NCNC dt fought him against secession because of greed. He manipulated the NPN against Awolowo, just to be president of the United Nigeria. See how his presidency ended. Azikiwe was the first villain in the Nigerian story.
