The Aare Onakakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams has warned Simon Ekpa, factional leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), not to bring the sit-at-home protest into Lagos State, the heartbeat of Yoruba Land.
Adams further warned that the South-West is not part of “the Biafra Republic’ and as such, it is preposterous for “outsiders to dictate or impose their agenda on people of other regions who they cohabit with as residents.”
Aare Onakakanfo was today, July 15, reacting to Simon Ekpan, self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu who ordered a sit-at-home protest in Lagos State, saying that the order is part of actions to demand the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Gani Adams cautioned the Finnish-based ethnic propagandist to desist from “repeating the mistake of the 1970s,” and drop the move.
“I can’t go to the South East now and say I want to decide for the people of that region. So, it is not possible to import the South-East agenda into Yorubaland. It would be counter-productive. We advise him (Ekpa) to drop that idea.
“He should not try that nonsense. The South West is not Biafra Republic. Any attempt to impose the Biafra Republic agenda will be resisted. He should desist from repeating the mistake of the 1970s. He should be very, very careful.
“They are entitled to their opinion, but South West is not their Biafran region. He should be very, very careful,” Gani warned Ekpa.
