Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed prime minister of the Biafra Republic government in exile has warned oil-producing companies not to ignore his instructions about Monday’s sit-at-home civil disobedience.
The Finland-based freedom fighter said that if the sit-at-home order is disregarded, the oil companies will not be able to produce any oil or conduct any oil exploration in the South-East region.
Ekpa revealed this in a video posted on his X (formerly Twitter) handle on Monday.
In the video he said:
“This particular message goes to the oil-producing companies operating within Biafra territory, from Shell down to the lowest. Our attention has been drawn to the fact that the expelled criminals in the Biafra movement are still collecting letters and this letter is being circulated to oil companies in Biafra land that there is nothing like sit-at-home.
“I want to put it as a warning to every oil-producing company, in Biafra territory, the only government that is operational, functional and that is legit and to which Biafra people are loyal is the Biafra Government in Exile of which I am the prime minister.
“We have not called off any sit-at-home, we have not cancelled the sit-at-home. We have not got our freedom. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not been released, the demands in the letter we wrote to you people have not been met.
“So if anybody comes to you to tell you that the sit-at-home has been cancelled and you start operation, I swear with the spirit of those that died in the 60’s that from that day, you will not be able to produce any oil or explore any oil in Biafra”.
