SIMON EKPA GIVES NIGERIAN GOVT CONDITION FOR PEACE IN SOUTH EAST

The self-styled Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRIGE), Simon Ekpa, has told the Nigerian government what must be done for peace to reign in the South-East region of the country.

Ekpa called on the Nigerian government to dismantle and withdraw all checkpoints in South-East if it is really desirous of peace to return to the region.

Ekpa who made the call while speaking in an interactive X space session on Wednesday, said the recurring crisis in the South-East region should be blamed on the Nigerian government’s militarization of the region.

The Finland-based Ekpa went further to clarify what he termed the misrepresentation of the Biafran agitation, saying the only thing Biafrans want is lasting peace in their region and to achieve this, the Nigerian government should demilitarise the South-East.

The region has been wrought with violent attacks and kidnappings which has led to loss of lives and property. Ekpa and his supporters have continued to declare sit-at-home days in the area, accompanied with attacks on security agencies within the region.

According to him, the Nigerian government should be blamed for the crisis in the South-East because it militarised the region.

“We are against the Nigerian state for militarising Biafra. Those claiming we are violent should blame the Nigerian state,” Ekpa said.‘They brought violence while we defend ourselves. We demand to withdraw the military and dismantle all checkpoints in Biafra territory,” Ekpa said.

    IPOB BANS INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH EAST ON OCTOBER 1

    IPOB BANS INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH EAST ON OCTOBER 1 The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has banned any form of Independence Day celebration activities in the entire South-East region of Nigeria on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. In a statement issued on Monday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB asked people of the South-East at home and in the diaspora to avoid any Nigeria’s Independence celebration globally. Powerful said “IPOB calls on Biafrans (Southeasterners) globally to go about their normal business because we are not part of Nigeria and have nothing to do with their British flag independence of 1960. “We are aware that some prominent Igbo men and women played pivotal roles in securing the flag of independence that Nigeria celebrates annually on every October 1st, however, such independence has taken more blood of Ndigbo to maintain than any other ethnic group in Nigeria. “Biafrans have decided to reject the bloody flag of independence of Nigeria and work for the restoration of a true united and prosperous Independent State of Biafra. “Therefore, every Biafran should reject this Nigerian forced unity as we look forward to celebrating the Biafra independence soon. “Ndigbo must adhere to this clarion call to stop every activity concerning Nigeria’s independence tomorrow. There shall be no flying of Nigerian flags in Biafra territory. There shall be no independence activity for students in Biafraland. “Everyone should go about their businesses or use that Day for family quality time and rest at home for those who may choose not to go for their work and business.” He warned, “IPOB is not joking with the restoration of Biafra freedom and sovereignty. Do not make yourself an enemy of the struggle by participating in Nigeria flag independence celebrations tomorrow. “Parents and guardians must not allow their children to go for any Nigerian independence activities tomorrow. We are monitoring everywhere in Biafraland. As an Igbo Parent, do not allow your children to be sacrificed for a country that considers them less of a human.”

    BREAKING: NNAMDI KANU: JUSTICE NYAKO RECUSES SELF FROM CASE

    BREAKING: NNAMDI KANU: JUSTICE NYAKO RECUSES SELF FROM CASE Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has recused herself from the trial of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in the terrorism charges brought against him by the federal government. The Judge on Tuesday opted out of the trial following the outburst of Kanu that he had no confidence and trust in the judge. In the middle of Tuesday’s proceedings, Kanu had jumped up from the dock and ordered his lawyer, Aloy Ejimako to sit down for him to address the court. In the uproar that ensued, Kanu took over the proceedings, announced that he no longer had confidence in Justice Binta Nyako and demanded that she rescued himself immediately. Although the federal government lawyer, Adegboyega Awomolo, SAN, objected to Kanu’s request, the Judge insisted on recusing herself. Awomolo had argued that the order to open the trial was in line with a Supreme Court Judgment, Justice Binta Nyako said she would prefer another judge to handle the trial. The judge subsequently recused herself and ordered that the case file be returned to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, John Tsoho for reassignment to another judge. Meanwhile, Kanu has been returned to the DSS custody.

    One thought on “SIMON EKPA GIVES NIGERIAN GOVT CONDITION FOR PEACE IN SOUTH EAST

    1. I think Ekpa is right on the problem of militarization of the Eastern Region. If only the Nigerian government will listen and honestly seek peace for the Region. We in the Region already don’t have to be told by any means any longer that Nigeria hates Eastern Region and only seems to exploit it (the oil) and enslave the (indigenous people of Biafra) by all means. They cannot, but it may take time yet for the complete liberation of the people from the Nigerian hatred. But it will happen, mark it.
