Simon Ekpa, the self-declared “Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile,” has declared that he will not comply with demands made by Nnamdi Kanu, the jailed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to stop the sit-at-home policy that is now in place every Monday throughout the southeast.

Ekpa made this revelation on Tuesday at a special 90MinutesAfrica broadcast that Rudolf Okonkwo presented.

“I won’t listen to Nnamdi Kanu’s instructions to end sit-at-home,” the Finland-based pro-Biafra agitator stated. “I will only listen to him not just when he becomes a freeman, but he has to come to Finland to tell me face to face,” he said.

In a July 2023 letter read to the media by his special counsel, Aloy Ajimakor, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the jailed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), told Simon Ekpa to “desist from calling any sit-at-home forthwith.” The leader of IPOB added that anyone who persists in enforcing the sit-at-home policy in the Southeast is not one of his disciples.

But the self-described “Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile” said that the only condition for him to listen to such an instruction is that Nnamdi Kanu “has to come to Finland and sit one-on-one with me.”

“That is my condition,” Mr. Ekpa declared. “Even if they bring him out today and he stays in Nigeria and says Simon Ekpa, stop, I’m not going to stop,” he vowed.

The sit-at-home practice, according to Simon Ekpa, was a means of achieving Biafra independence. He maintained that it has been successful in “crushing the economy of Nigeria, delegitimizing the Nigerian government in Biafra land and demonstrating that the people don’t listen to Nigerian authorities anymore.”

“We are using four different mechanisms to pursue the freedom of Biafra,” he stated. 

“The political, diplomatic, self-defense or arms struggle and the civil disobedience approach,” he said. “These are the four approaches we are using to delegitimize and fight Nigeria, and they are working perfectly.”

Simon Ekpa responded to complaints that traders, students, and other locals are suffering as a result of the sit-at-home policy by saying that it was a cost worth paying in order to secure a better future for everyone.

“The traders have a better business ahead of them, and the students will have better schools to attend in the future,” he insisted. “What we are doing is a price they have to be paid for freedom. Freedom does not come easy. We are going to bring an alternative that will work for them. So they have to pay the price of not going to school if they have to.”
