All is not well with the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as the group’s Finland-based prime minister, Simon Ekpa, described the letter written to him by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, ordering a halt to the Sit-at-home directive a joke taken too far.
Mr. Ekpa in a statement on Saturday, told Biafrans to disregard the letter written by Mr. Kanu from detention putting a stop to the unpopular IPOB curfew and read publicly by Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor. He insisted that the two week sit-at-home order must be adhered to.
Giving conditions under which he would even accept that the letter came from Kanu, Mr. Ekpa stated that Kanu must be released by the DSS, and allowed to speak to Biafrans from Finland.
He said in his estimation the IPOB leader could not have condescended so low as to write a letter like the one Mr. Ejimakor read.
In his post via his Twitter handle Mr. Ekpa said that the letter was a joke and an ‘insult taken too far’.
His words: “Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by the Nigerian media claiming that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote a letter.
“It is not only a joke but an insult taking too far that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra is being misrepresented in this way.
“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.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released and he must address Biafrans from Finland. That is the condition of the Prime Minister of Biafra and the Biafra Republic Government In Exile”.
