The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has distanced itself from the embattled Simon Ekpa.
IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu in a statement on Tuesday, by it’s Media Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Powerful, admonished media houses to stop tagging a self professed ‘content creator in Finland’ to IPOB.
“A person that declared himself as Biafra Prime Minister of a Finland based phantom Biafra Government in Exile is sufficient to address the criminal and the minds of journalists to the constituency which he represents.
“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.”
IPOB further revealed that, “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 referred them as those who were fighting to destroy peaceful IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“IPOB is not part of them and Nigerian media and bloggers should stop linking to IPOB. They have declared their freedom and independence mentioned their created states what remained now will be telling public their seats of powers in Biafraland. IPOB remain what they were from the beginning and will not shift ground until Biafra Independence is fully announced by the United Nations.“
