Fear grips Peter Obi as Simon Ekpa ends sit-at-home, says no elections in South-East
Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed disciple of the Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has officially ended the five-day sit-at-home order in the South-East region of Nigeria.
According to The PUNCH, Ekpa in a video posted on YouTube on Wednesday night, announced the end of the five-day sit-at-home order, terming it “historic and successful” for Biafraland.
Meanwhile, the newspaper reported that in the caption of the video, Ekpa wrote that the 2023 elections will not hold in the South-East region, saying it is a “sacrifice” that the people of Biafra have to make.
He also wrote that “ending Nigeria” is a task that must be done by 2023.
The caption reads, “To end Nigeria in 2023 is a task that must be done! There will be no general election in Biafraland in 2023, it is a sacrifice and a task that must be done by all Biafrans across the globe.

“I am Simon Ekpa, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple on Biafra restoration.”
Although IPOB, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, denied ever issuing any sit-at-home order on the days mentioned above, violence had continued to reign in the region.
Having taken a keen observation of the series of attacks that have plagued the South-East in recent times, analysts are of the view that a declaration of no elections in the region by Simon Ekpa will negatively affect the chances of Peter Obi and Labour Party in making required votes needed to win next year Presidential elections.
