Simon Ekpa, a former Finnish soldier and politician who recently replaced the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has debunked insinuations that there is a vacuum within the group following Kanu’s arrest.
He said in a statement on Saturday that Kanu would continue to lead the group from the detention centre of the Department of State Services. DSS.
“Let me rhetorically state that there is no vacuum in the leadership of IPOB, there is no vacuum in the position of director of Radio Biafra,” he said.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the Director of Radio Biafra and his directive is final as we maintain the command and control.
“Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will continue to lead the struggle from where ever he is, be it in the prison, DSS custody, police detention or from AsoRock detention.
“The directive of our leader on the 8th of July 2021 is that I, Simon Ekpa should start broadcasting from Radio Biafra with immediate effect, to maintain the legacy and sustain the momentum of the movement, a task I accepted without hesitation because the situation requires extra ordinary media war to sustain, expose the impunity of the Nigeria State, to expose the genocide and end the enslavement of indigenous people in Nigeria in a different level.
“Whoever have issues with this should check him or herself. The directive of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not just a wish, it is an order”
