Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed aide of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu, has declared that no election will hold in the South-East region in 2023.

Ekpa who declared this in a viral video uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday night, said it is a sacrifice that the people of Biafra must make, adding that “ending Nigeria” must be accomplished by 2023.

The caption reads, “To end Nigeria in 2023 is a task that must be done! There will be no general election in Biafraland in 2023, it is a sacrifice and a task that must be done by all Biafrans across the globe.

“I am Simon Ekpa, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple on Biafra restoration.”

Meanwhile, Nigerians from all over the world are signing a petition urging the Finnish government, the Nigerian government, and the European Union to arrest Simon Ekpa, the person responsible for the five-day sit-at-home order that recently resulted in the deaths of numerous South-East citizens.

In a widely shared video, Ekpa, a self-declared leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, had commanded residents of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home protest from December 9 to 14 — a law that has been enforced in the area with bloodshed and the ruin of people’s lives and properties.

Violence has persisted in the area despite IPOB’s denials of ever issuing a sit-at-home order on the days in question through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
