BREAKING: Simon Ekpa Takes Tinubu By Surprise, Hires Prominent U. S. Lawyer For December 2 Biafra Declaration
Simon Ekpa, a Finland- based Biafra agitator and self- acclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), has announced the appointment of Arman Dabiri, a United States attorney, to support efforts toward achieving Biafra’ s independence.
In a statement released on Saturday, Ekpa stated that Dabiri would play a crucial role in advising the Biafra Government in Exile on gaining U. S. recognition for the declaration of an independent Biafra. This development is part of preparations for the much- anticipated Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra, scheduled for December 2, 2024.
Ekpa described Arman Dabiri as a significant addition to the legal team working on Biafra’ s independence. ” In preparation for the declaration of the restoration of independence for the United States of Biafra and the pursuit of recognition, the Biafra government is proud to announce to the Biafran people that we have added Arman Dabiri, a very big Iroko, to our international legal team, ” Ekpa stated.
He emphasized that Dabiri would specifically focus on advising on U. S. recognition of Biafra’ s independence, while other international lawyers continue to handle additional responsibilities.
The announcement of Dabiri’ s appointment comes months after Ekpa publicly vowed to declare Biafra’ s independence on December 2, 2024. According to Ekpa, extensive plans have been made to organize the Declaration of the Restoration of Independence of Biafra Convention 2024, set to take place in Lahti, Finland, from November 29 to December 3, 2024.
Ekpa asserted that this event underscores the fundamental rights of Biafrans to self- rule. He has repeatedly argued that over 50 million Igbos have recently participated in a legal referendum, expressing their desire for independence from Nigeria.

Ekpa’ s actions and declarations continue to attract attention both within and outside Nigeria. While his movement has garnered significant support among some pro- Biafra groups, it also faces criticism from others who argue that his approach could escalate tensions in the region.
