Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafran Republic in Exile, has responded to the low turnout of protesters in the Southeast.
Recall that the protest which began Aug 1 had significant impact on the publish properties.
According to Vanguard, in a post on his official X account, Ekpa attributed the low participation to the Biafran referendum, asserting that the people of the region have once again spoken with a unified voice.
Ekpa called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, an end to the militarization of Biafran territory, and the acceptance of the Biafra referendum. He claimed that over 49 million Biafrans have cast their votes in favor of the Biafran self-referendum.
He wrote, “Once again, Biafrans have spoken in one voice. What other evidence do you need to know that Biafrans have rejected Nigeria?
“While the regions that believe in Nigeria are protesting to end bad governance, Biafra has once again demonstrated that they are not part of Nigeria and cannot protest to end bad governance in Nigeria.
“While those who believe in one Nigeria are protesting, Biafrans have disassociated themselves, meaning that they have accepted the Biafra Government as the only legitimate government they are loyal to.”
Earlier, Ekpa had ordered that no Biafra should join the protest to the hardship protest.
