Simon Ekpa Makes FRESH Announcement After Biafrans Angrily BURNT Down FG’s Skills Acquisition Centre In Imo State
Simon Ekpa, the self- proclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra, made a bold announcement on social media following the burning down of the Nigerian government’ s multi- million naira Skills Acquisition Centre in Imo State on Independence Day. Ekpa declared that, for the security of Biafrans, all building projects by the Nigerian government in Imo State are henceforth banned, whether directly or by proxy.
This move, according to Ekpa, is aimed at preventing the Nigerian government from using Imo State as a training ground for Boko Haram. Instead, the Biafra government will take charge of rebuilding Imo State. Ekpa’ s statement is a clear indication of the escalating tensions between the Nigerian government and the Biafran separatist movement.
As the leader of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), Ekpa has been at the forefront of the Biafran independence movement. His activism has gained significant attention, with some viewing him as a champion of the Biafran cause, while others see him as a provocateur.
The burning down of the Skills Acquisition Centre is the latest in a series of incidents that have raised concerns about the growing violence in the region. The Nigerian government has accused Ekpa and his followers of being responsible for the violence, while Ekpa maintains that his movement is peaceful and focused on achieving independence for Biafra.
Ekpa’ s announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some supporting his stance and others condemning it as an attempt to undermine the Nigerian government’ s authority. The situation remains volatile, with many fearing further escalation of violence.
In recent months, Ekpa has made several announcements, including the formation of the Biafra Liberation Army (BLA) and the declaration of a referendum on Biafran independence. These moves have been met with skepticism by the Nigerian government, which has declared Ekpa and other BRGIE leaders wanted for terrorism and other crimes.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Nigerian government will respond to Ekpa’ s latest announcement. One thing is certain, however: the Biafran independence movement is gaining momentum, and the stakes are higher than ever.
