PHIL OKOSE, Onitsha
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Tuesday, urged media houses and bloggers to desist from linking the organisation to Simon Ekpa who IPOB described as a self-professed content creator in Finland, stating that such a link with IPOB is a slight on the group.
Making the urge through its image maker, Emma Powerful, the movement stated that Ekpa is a person who declared himself as Biafra Prime Minister of a Finland-based phantom, Biafra Government in Exile, and expressed worry that media houses will connect IPOB to such a person.
“The phantom Biafra Government in Exile is not part of the IPOB nomenclature and persistent association of these content creators to the legitimate aspirations of Biafrans championed by the great IPOB worldwide should not be muddled up to serve a dangerous intent of tarnishing the impeccable image of IPOB.
“Media houses are enjoined to stop referencing content creators to IPOB with the content creator in Finland prison.
“If the media houses continue joining the content creator to the great family of IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, we are going to refer to them as those who are fighting to destroy peaceful IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“IPOB is not part of them and Nigerian media and bloggers should stop linking Ekpa to IPOB. They have declared their freedom and independence and mentioned their created states and what remained now will be telling the public their seats of power in Biafraland. IPOB remains what it was from the beginning and will not shift ground until Biafra Independence is fully announced by the United Nations,” the movement stated.
