Stop inclusion of South-South States in your agitation — Ekpenyong to pro-Biafran agitators

IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu

Former deputy governor of Akwa Ibom State, Dr. Chris Ekpenyong, has cautioned pro-Biafran agitators against the inclusion of South-South states in their agitation for an independent country.

Ekpenyong said if the pro-Biafran agitators insisted on mapping out South-South states for their dream republic, they would not realise it as the people of the South-South were not Biafrans.

 He advised militants to quit further destruction of oil facilities in the region to avoid worsening the challenges of poverty already facing the Niger Delta people.

Ekpenyong, who spoke in an interview in Uyo on Tuesday, regretted that the continuing agitation for self-rule by IPOB  and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, with their present map of Biafra which included communities in other South-South states, would not succeed because the people were not interested in being part of the Biafra Republic.
