Purported Letter From Nnamdi Kanu Is Insult Taken Too Far – Self-Styled Biafra PM, Simon Ekpa Declares

Simon Ekpa, the self-styled Prime Minister of Biafra land and representative of the Biafra Republic Government In Exile, has called on the people of the South East to dismiss the purported letter attributed to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The alleged letter instructed Ekpa to halt his calls for sit-at-home protests in the region.

Ekpa vehemently denied the authenticity of the letter in a post on his verified Twitter handle @simon_ekpa. He expressed that the letter was a fabrication and did not reflect Kanu’s true intentions.

In the letter, which was read out to journalists by Aloy Ejimakor, one of Kanu’s lawyers, Kanu purportedly urged Ekpa, who is based in Finland, to stop antagonizing state governors, asserting that Ekpa was not in a position to know their actions on his behalf. Furthermore, Kanu instructed Ekpa to make a public announcement acknowledging the directive given in the letter.

In response, Ekpa refuted the letter’s veracity and considered it an attempt to misrepresent Kanu’s views. He insisted that any orders from the Nigerian Department of State Services (DSS) would not be recognized by the Biafra movement.

“As the Prime Minister of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS. We can’t take any order from the Islamic DSS, and that is final,” Ekpa stated emphatically.

He reiterated that the priority for the Biafra Republic Government In Exile was the release of Kanu from detention, stressing that only after his release would any orders be considered legitimate.

The purported letter from Kanu had advised against sit-at-home protests, expressing concern over the hardship it inflicts on the people. However, Ekpa remains unwavering in his position, asserting that only the direct instruction of Kanu himself, after his release, would be taken into consideration…[CONTINUE READING HERE]
